Steering Boot Help

Recommended Posts

So in the process of removing my control arms and front struts on my facelift e30 316i I noticed the little rubber boots are cracking and have split in many places on the control arm mounts/balljoint and the tie rod ball joints.

I have had a look on real oem and pelican parts and couldnt find a single part number for them, am I able to buy them by themselves? Or do I need entire new control arms and tie rod ends + balljoints.

Any help will be appreciated

Cheers

George Stock & Co in Auckland sells them. You will need to measure them and give them sizes. They are not sold as a seperate part from BMW

Cheers Glenn, is there a tool or a specific way to remove the actual ball joints from the control arms?

You dont need to if your just replacing the boots

I think I may need to take the joints out that pivot off the control arm with the bolt through the front subframe, the boots on those go underneath the joint???
