Replacing the bushes in my suspension lower arms and I've had to use a ball joint separator (not a pickle fork!) to remove them because a bloody big hit with a hammer didn't work. I was pretty careful but pushing the prongs past the ball joint has forced some grease out - unsurprisingly. I'm looking to get some spare boots in because although I could remove the boots and re-fill, if I screw it up and damage them I want spares on hand. Which leads me to...

...where on earth do people get them in the UK? Online OEM ones seem to be about £11 each plus postage, and the ebay offerings seem to be generic ones that I have my doubts about putting on my S! If the answer is "don't be a cheapskate and pony up for the OEM ones", then fair enough, but I thought I'd check - some references from the US side of the forum have talked about getting them for $2 each!

Measure up and order, great prizes and service.

I think the rear ones were about £3 each. Don’t both with cable ties, you can reuse the spring clip, just use plenty of WD40 when sliding back over the boot.

Gotcha, 3rd party ones are okay. Or at least those 3rd party ones are, cheers!

I used a suitable boot from a multipack for both my rears during its rebush. Over 12months in and still going!
