Is there a name for this upper control arm bushing? Trying to pick one up at the local auto parts store. It's one bushing on the upper control arm that holds the spindle.
Thanks.
Most likely you will not be able to get just a boot. If that is the case you will need to purchase a new ball joint. Which is a good idea I think, if the boot was torn for some time it will have dirt in the ball joint. Play it safe and install new upper ball joints.
Yeah, they aren't that much money and with as bad as that boot is torn it's not going to be clean grease in there. Plus it had miles on it to start with. Get a new ball-joint. And don't get the cheap cheap ones like "Falcon". Moog, TRW, etc.
