Hey guys, I am a new member and this is my first post. Have lurked for a while and found it to be a great place for Magna info! I have recently acquired my third Magna as a daily, a 93 TR V6 Manual with 215k on the clock (previous to that I had a TS V6 Manual, and beforethat a 2.6 Astron TR Auto). Very underrated cars and I picked up the most recent for the bargain price of $800.

I failed my roadworthy test earlier this week so have been fixing up a few things, namely bubbled tint, rust in boot well, and a few smaller things. The main thing I am trying to chase up however is some boots around the control arms, namely the parts circled here:

Does anyone have a part number or can recommend where I can purchase these from please?

Cheers,

Martin

These are ball joint boots. Take the old off, and get them matched at a car parts place. Some Holden boots are the same size.
But honestly, if the boots are cactus the ball joints will be as well. Pull the lower arm off, take to a workshop and get new ones pressed in.
Sharpens up the steering nicely.
Did mine recently on a 1995 TS V6 with 245,000 km on it.
