Hi everyone,

I searched the forum with no luck so far i have also scoured my defender manual and cant find the dimensions for the dust cover that goes over the steering drop arm ball joint can anyone help?

The ball joint itself is in great condition and no damage or dirt in it so just want to replace the rubber boot.

Thanks
Mark

Following...as I have the same issue, advisory on the last mot but completely knacked now. I do have a reconditioned drop arm to go on though if needs must. My 110 isn't used much now I've got a RR p38 so the joint won't suffer exposed for now.

Why not just cut the old 1 off and piece it together then you can compare/measure. Its not that hard to measure up even in position surely?

But come on 2.50 isn't gonna break the bank is it.
