New balljoint dust boots??

[MAKO19]

Is there anyway to get a set of these factory dust boots? I had to take off the A-arms to weld a few cracks and I accidentally cut the boots with balljoint remover tool. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I read on another forum that Ford Fiesta balljoint seals will work. has anyone tried this?

No idea if those fiesta covers will work but one thing I did was take a bike inner tube and cut into pieces like 3 inches long and recovered mine, packed some grease in them.

I'd suggest deciding what you want to do with your quad and look into a-arms with replaceable ball joints etc. Sounds like you have been hard on your a-arms and it probably wouldn't hurt for you to upgrade.

It was probably the dude that had the quad before me that beat them up. I just tig welded the crack and I am repainting the arms. The ball joints feel fine. New a-arms for these bikes are ridiculous. I really think it is cheaper to mess around with street cars.

How exactly did you repair your dust covers? Did you put bike inner tube on the inside of them? Did you use any glue or silicone to hold it in place?

Can anyone verify if the aftermarket ball joints are larger than the stockers? I was looking at Lonestar racing and they have replacement dust covers but the dude there said there balljoints are larger.

Ya sorry, I just slid them over the ball joints and zip tied the ends, doesn't look to great but it worked for what I needed.

wrap the ball joint in black electrical tape nobody will know its ripped unless yheyr lookin.

^^^Mans got a point. If I were you I would run them till they blow and get some aftermarket they are nice! Haha

You can get all 4 brand new stock a-arms with the bearings and ends for around 150 bucks I would say thats pretty dang cheap
