Default Upper Ball Joint boot
I just placed an order with my local BMW dealer for a couple of their boots that fit our 928 upper ball joints (BMW part number 31 12 1 109 077). He informed me they are on back order and may no longer be available. I also understand the Audi boot that was recommended is no longer available from Audi. Does anyone here have other options that have been satisfactory for replacing the late model 928 upper ball joint boots? Inquiring minds want to know - ha!

Thanks for your assistance.

Gary

Got it, direct contact with the ex-pat made the difference!

Ake,

Thanks for the eBay reference, but our old friend in Dallas (ex UK) is a better source, and cheaper as well. I'll have them by Saturday.

Cheers,

Gary

You are welcome, Gary. I have a couple of boots in stock which I got from BMW directly. As I remember the price was good.
