The rubber is available from the vendors and often on ebay.

Hi All,

I'm in the process of rebuilding my front suspension and noticed what appears

to be a seal of some sort on the top of the ball joint.  Specifically, a thin

piece of rubber was sticking out of the thread where the center section screws

into the body of the ball joint.  These are ball joints I bought from a vendor

about 20 yrs ago that otherwise are perfectly good.  Is anyone familiar with

this?  Are they there to prevent grease from escaping?  If so, can I use RTV

gasket maker or do I need to buy new ball joints?



Thanks.
