damaged rubberboot around wheel bearing

Message List

Message #9561 of 26045 |

The rubber boot around the wheel bearing of the left rear wheel seems to be
damaged.
Lots of grease is spun around it. The dealer says that part is backordered for 3
months.
Has anybody had this problem? Know of a substitute?
