Hey,

 

I recently bought some upper ball joints from Sunbeam Specialties and I have
a couple of questions.  The shop manual shows a circlip that snaps into a
groove after you press the ball joint into the A-arm.  These clips didn't
come with the ball joints.  Is this a common item I should be able to get
locally?   Second question: The large end of the rubber boot is held in
place by a wire ring but there is nothing on the small end.  There is a
groove in the rubber on the small end like it is made for some type of clip.
When I shot some grease into the ball joint it started oozing out from under
the boot on the small end.   Should I have some type of clip on that end of
the boot?

 

Thanks,

Joe Brown
