: upper ball joint dust cover

I was lubing my front end this weekend and notice my PS upper ball joint dust cover has a hole in it about the size of a BB (when the grease is coming out).


I have found out today by calling around that it appears I will have to replace to whole upper control arm to solve this problem.


Any other ideas?


Thanks

boot is part of upper ball joint, which is part of control arm. You could try cleaning it very good and put some rtv sealer on it, that may at least help.

Thanks Eric.


The ball joint is not removeable/replaceable? It is an all or nothin' deal?


What is rtv sealer?
