    Kansai force rear lower arms ball joint

    Hi all got a set of force rear lower arms and noticed the ball joint is a rose one. With no rubber boot. Obviously this won't pass an mot. Is there and other ball joint that can be fitted to them that includes a rubber boot?

    Personally I'd chance it with the MOT

    Shall I just mot the car with standard arms and then change them over? I just thought there might be a way to have ball joints like oem

    Hardrace does adjustable rear arms with OEM style ball joints or GKTech does adjustable lower arms with adjustable ball joints with rubber boots.

    For the cost of a retest I'd just fit them and cross my fingers...

    I can't see how you'd get a stock style joint into there. If you're nervous, what about one of those old school split, fit and glue kits like they used on CVs?

    Ebay universal rose joint covers? Also, maybe it's years of knowing good testers, but how anal is yours that it'll fail on that if it has no movement lol?
