Dont know, but some motor factors sell universal rubber boots on a card, if you take the old one to them, you can usually get a match and get another year out of them.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Not to shore on that but go to your local factors and see if you can get the rubber cover as it came in to themot awhile ago joints can fail if the boot is split and people stated to make replacment boots

All the ends are the same, except where they are different!

The difference being LH or RH thread depending on which end of the arm they are fitted.

1 end will be right hand thread & other side will be left hand thread

best to replace the joint rather than a new rubber cover as they are only cheap
