Question Lower Front Suspension Ball Joint Boot

I've found a site that lists the boots - in Ukraine... Can't work out how to order though.

http://bummax.com/index.php?option=c...id=43&Itemid=7

The code on the boot is 030 0002 103 009, although this is listed without the spaces, the second item in the list.

Paul, did you try this crowd in Poole? (info from smiffy on another list)

Or, try:

A1 Motor Stores
Tel: 01202 744244
293 Ashley Rd, Poole, Dorset, BH14 9DZ

They sell several sizes, the ones you need are:
For the suspension ball joints, the largest ones they sell, marked "1TR" on the inside and "C R" on the outside, overall diameter 48mm
For the steering joints, the second largest, marked "09-193-6", overall diameter 41mm.

It's listed as a "generic ball joint dust boot" with the following dimensions: "54/31*27*16". You could maybe get one locally.

Someone else in the UK attempted to order from them recently, but for some reason it was not fulfilled, I forget why. There is also a supplier of 'universal' ball joint boots, www.balljointboots.co.uk. However the attraction of the Ukrainian supplier is that these are OEM boots, and therefore much less likely to too rub or split than a near match. If only I could work out how to order...

TBH the upper A arm boot is much more important that the lower, as the lower ball joint is at least available separately, unlike the upper.

Thanks, that does sound like Boot 4 in my link above.

With a little help I beleive we have found a replacement set of the Audi boot and spring clips.
As soon as it arrives I will report back.
