z27ag ball joint dust boot replacement!i think i was supplied with the wrong boot.
i couldn't get the spring steal clip on @_@
so either i gonna use some zip ties or metal wire
used some high temp bearing grease after cleaning the ball joint
took measurement so i can buy universal one later.
Home brew radiator hose ball joint dust boot cover :D
I ended up buying a universal one. As I was annoyed with going to and from Mistsubishi.
Apparently the dust boot they given me is for cars that don't use spring clips, they are just held on by the pressure.
I wanted clips, he told me i would need to buy a whole new lower arm as they don't really sell these parts individually.
Went to Mitsu about 4 times, I was the first person in Australia to request this part and the catalogue was wrong.
the measurement i took of this new dust cover include:
height = 29.67mm
top inner diameter = 17.4mm
bottom inner diam = 38.92mm
i also had to buy htb = high temp bearing grease to pack the balljoint
removing old spring clip and broken ball joint dust boot
be cautious not to get and sand into the ball joint or the new grease.
i used degreaser and air compressor to clean the joint
i really think i could of used this ball joint dust cover but i didn't like how there is nothing to seal it on.
but all sizes were very similar except the bottom diameter was a bit larger.
someone on minkara also replaced there
