Steering UJ rubber shroud - ?
« on: 24 July 2010, 09:24 »
Hi all. I need a new rubber shroud for the steering UJ as the old one has perished and fallen apart. The local dealer can get one but quoted £33.23,.  :shocked: (and they won't give out the part number?)? Looked on GSF but nothing listed.
Anyone know an alternative source? Thanks. (BTW, 8v without PAS)

IIRC this is genuine only, but it might be worth checking at a couple of specialists.

Thought the non pas ones were obsolete? .. if they are and the dealer says he can get one for circa 30quid then buy as many as he can get hold of  :laugh:

is it really needed? i cut mine off when i did eng conv, had an immaculate 1 on it as well. it was too in the way when i tried joining the column to rack,so it went in the bin in bits, then i realised i had to swap my column over cos it didnt fit the pas 1!! i probably wouldve been able to leave it on if i had the right parts in the 1st place...

Yes, as without it the grease dries out then the uj's fail.
