can i buy a ball joint boot from say a 95 honda civic, and put it on a ball joint from an 87 civic? the only place i can go to get the boot for my car is a dealership and i dont feel like paying their prices, so im wondering if later model civics' ball joint boots are interchangeable with older model. any help would be appreciated.

 

I know this isnt answering ur question, but get the right size boots, because if a ball joint fails, u could get into some serious trouble, just my .02 cents

 

i know but im just wondering if they are interchangeable. sometimes manufacturers leave certain things on cars the same for different generations...

 

why not just buy a new ball joint there only 20 bucks

then go to a shop and have someone press if for you it wont be more than 30 bucks to press it in

 

it costs 100 bucks for my model year ball joint and its not removeable.

 

Try energy suspension. I got my ball joint boots from them but they were for a second gen.
