[DeTomaso] Rear ball joint boots

[Julian Kift]

I seem to recall some discussion where at least one of the vendors was selling the replacement boots for around $30, maybe Wilkinson? The joints are same as Ferrari 308, but I don't expect they would be any cheaper via  a Ferrari source.

 

Failing that you can use Energy Suspension aftermarket boots (available through Summit etc.), part # 9-13119. They do require cutting down a little (about 1/8") and are not circlip wired on like the oem boots, but many people have found they function well.

 

Good luck,

Julian
