Oh sh*t - just spent £26 quid replacing a bush on the old arm, now the gaiter has split too! ~ Not prepared to pay out for a new arm on ebay or at dealer on top of the £26 I just forked out. Will a gaiter from a track rod end do instead I wonder?
cheers!

Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 9:52 am ---- If the ball joint cover has been split for any length of time, then it's likely that grit has got in and the grease leaked out, which is now causing wear on the joint itself. It's sometimes a waste of money to replace the cover as you'll need a new arm soon enough.
not coming up on my browser for 206 HDi 1.4. I called my local main dealer who said that the gaiter is not available separately and several other local factors confirmed this too.

many thanx!

...this time main dealer said: "each of those are only available in packs of 20". They didn't remember telling me that you couldn't buy them separately in the first place! i.e. complete arm only!
...managed to get hold of ONE from this guy: boot/gaiter.
