I have searched both this forum and the FFCars forum and there seems to be several part numbers for different versions of the FFR A-arm/ball joint assemblies.

If possible can someone confirm the part numbers for the both the upper and lower ball joint boots for the most recent FFR tubular A-arm assembly (Mk4 with ball joints that came with the kit - I am replacing the upper A-arms with the new design from FFR). My lower ball joint boots have disintegrated to the point where they have split and no longer retain grease (after one season). I see on the other forum that FFR has provided replacements for defective LCA boots. My LCA boots have cracks like old tires and have failed completely on the PS (boot split in half) and around 1/2 of the circumference on the DS.

Thanks in advance

I need to replace the ball joint boots for both the upper and lower control arms.

I have found a post from Feb 2011 stating the upper ball joints are from Chrysler New Yorker 79-82 and the lowers are from 87-93 mustang. Can anyone confirm that the ball joint boots for the upper ball joint will work with the new FFR UCA design (boot mount surface is angled and very difficult to seat properly on the new UCA)

Also I see a part # for the boot from Energy Suspension # 13024 - is this for the upper and lower and will it work with the new UCA design?.

Thx in advance
