Hi Alex,
That the local 350z specialist I bought the car from.
I think the crux was you couldn't get the dust cover by itself
Tell me they are wrong
Merrx Ymas!!!
That's my point, why replace these parts only because of a perished dust cover.
I assume that there is no wear on the ball joint or that it has not failed its MOT.
If the only issue is a perished boot then I can only assume that the garage has marked this down as an advisory repair and nothing more.
The hub carrier does come complete with the ball joint but I have upgraded mine and I may have a few lying around so I will have a look over Christmas.
The boot is easy to replace and the balljoint is just a simple press fit.
But like I said at the start, why replace it. If it aint broke and all that.
The boots do serve a purpose but it is not cost effective to replace the whole hub carrier only because of a perished boot.
I will also talk nicely to my Nissan stores manager about this when I am in collecting my next batch of rear leds, probably Monday.
Also it wont be the first time that I have had to clean up and run some super glue around a perished or torn boot in situ.
Cheers,
Alex.
