I am moving (finally !!) on my front end and I would like to freshen everything rubber if possible. Does anyone know where I can get new o-rings that sit between the steering knuckle arm and the bottom of the strut tube casting?

Or any official names it may have ?

Look at diagram #1 on the top of the page

Thanks as always - this forum is a great resource and I want to thank everyone that posts and especially thank you to those that post pictures.

new ones came with my ball joints...I think they probably do from Black Dragon, also, as #1 appears to encompass all the parts within the dotted line box.

HTH,

This is one area where it is 100% safe to use RTV sealant:)

Run a 3mm bead around the corner of the knuckle arm and drop the tube on, job done.

yeah I remember this part, this should come with the ball joint I guess..

but a sealan should be able to take care coz there is no differential pressure which might force the dirt to come in..

but if you take the old one and go arround spare parts shop or any industrial shops you can find similar one, coz it is just a simple O-ring, not a big deal to be baught from a specialized dealer of S30s

good luck pal.

Thanks guys - I bought the MOOG ball joints from Rock Auto and they did not include the o-rings. I found a spot on the web that sells them in all sizes and materials. I will order something close and strech it - or I might just say F%#$ it and use the RTV -thanks for the tip.

the ones I purchased were 555, anyways, good luck finding the proper O-ring.

cheers.

Luckily I found the old one's and used em. Couldn't find anything on the internet unless I bought a box of 100. The Kragen, Autozone and Dealership guys all tried to help, but to no avail.

Its just a regular old o-ring. Take one of the old ones down to an industrial hardware store (forget Home Depot and Lowes) and you can buy a new replacement for 50 cents.

Motorsport Auto sells them. You have to call and ask for it. www.zcarparts.com
