1 x Polyurethane A-Frame Ball Joint Boot.
Part Number :- GL1174
Weight :- KG
Fits :- All Defender, Discovery 1, RRc A-Frame Ball Joints.
These are replacement A-Frame Ball Joint Boots made from Polyurethane.
A common problem with Rubber Ball Joint Boots these days is perishing/cracking, Rubber doesn’t seem to be what it used to be.
Polyurethane will not perish/crack like normal Rubber so will give a much longer service life.
These boots are Double Convoluted which allows them to move/flex more without stretching.
Fitting, you can remove and refit the coil clips by either using a small screw driver to carefully wind the clip round the boot or use a zip tie to wind the coil clips round the boot.
If you want a new clip have a look for Part Number :- GL1265 A Frame Ball Joint Boot Clip 47mm
Screwdriver :-
You need to carefully pick up one
end of the larger coil clip using a small flat head screwdriver and then
wind the clip round the original Rubber Boot to lift it out of its
recess, your original coil clip can then be used to fit your new Poly
Boot.
Fitment is the reverse, start by sitting
one end of the coil clip in to the recess and then wind it round the
Poly Boot until the coil clip fits back in to its recess.
Take care not to puncture the boot with the screwdriver.
Zip Tie :-
You need to carefully pick up one end of
the larger coil clip using a small flat head screwdriver and then slip a
small zip tie over the end of the clip, pull the zip tie to lift the
clip out of its recess and wind it round and over the boot, your
original coil clip can then be used to fit your new Poly Boot.
Fitment is the reverse, start by slipping
the zip tie in to the coil clip, sit one end of the coil clip in to the
recess and then pull the zip tie the opposite way to removal while
winding round the boot until the clip sits back in to its recess. (Pull
the zip tie towards the Track Rod End body)
We would recommend that you do not
fit the smaller clip that your original Rubber Boot may be fitted with,
leaving this clip off will allow old grease to squeeze out as new
grease is pumped in, it will also stop the Boot swelling and popping off
from over greasing.
Also the Boot needs to swivel over the track rod end shaft as your
steering is turned lock to lock, so even if your track rod end is not a
greasable type this will help stop the boot from twisting as the shaft
turns with your steering.
