I need a new rubber boot to replace a torn one for a control arm ball joint, does anyone know where I can get one?

Bavarian Autosport has Urethane boots if you are interested.

Just a rubber one is fine. :DOriginally posted by Nick325isComment

I don't think you can buy standard rubber boots.Originally posted by Eurospeed88Comment

How long has the boot been torn? You sure your ball joint isn't wasted?Originally posted by GrueliusComment

I'm getting it from Jordan, and he said that the boot doesn't look like it's been torn long, and that the ball joint is fine. :)Originally posted by kencopperwheatComment

I have my two 60k mile control arms if you want them. ;)
I was also under the impression that you really couldn't change them either, at least without ripping them again.The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.Comment

You can definitely have the ball joints pressed out and new ones pressed in. I'm sure if you find the part number (if there even is one) that you can get the boots. You might just want to go with the urethane one... you're only buying one, right?Originally posted by GrueliusComment

Yeah, one of the control arms I'm getting from him is a nearly-new OE control arm, and the other is a good condition one, with just a torn boot.Originally posted by kencopperwheat
How much are the urethane ones? I didn't see them on BavAuto's site.Comment

bmpd.com has the urethane ones for $3.75 each... comes with lube too.Originally posted by GrueliusComment

If your up portland way I have 2 old CA's sitting in the back yard, you can take a boot of one of them.Comment
