Suspension question

[fritz]

On the the hub side of the lower control arm there is a pin which supports the hub. I dont know what the name for it is?

Anyway, can anybody tell me if it is possible to strip the little boot of it & remove the pin so all you're left with is the casting which is welded to the control arm?

if your talking abour the ball joint ...no

[Brayden]

Yeah, that would be the ball joint, and Col is right, it is inseperable from the control arm and also unable to be repaired.

If you need a new unit then SuziWest have new ones at a fair price.

[fritz]

Mine are fine. I am just curious...

What about the little rubber boots - can they be removed?

[Brayden]

I had a look at my old ones; the boot comes off but I couldn't see a way of getting it back on.

[Colin]

you can buy the boots for ball joints there hard to find i think you can get them from a mini (leyland ) spare parts supplier
