Default Dust Boot - Upper Ball Joint Cover for QA1 1972 Chevelle GM

Hey Everybody,

According to QA1 tech, they don't supply or make a dust boot or cover that fits the their ball joints for stock A arms.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Craig

Hey Guys,

Thanks, I was looking for a better lasting than dorman.

Crisco - that's what I ordered the first time as I called the tech department to double check for them to tell me that they would work. The base id is too small and then called again - I was told they wouldn't fit and check with Moog, etc - he didn't know.

I politely suggested to him to put on the website and the instructions need to be corrected as they recommend that part. Just want the change to happen not to be a jerk.

Thanks, Craig

Craig, I used boots from Energy Suspension for the extended upper ball joints on a Camaro/Nova application. Worked great. -Al

I would be happy with the stock length boot as they will function the same.

Alan, would those work with the 72 Chevelle too?

Thanks, Craig
