mgood Posted February 21, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2011 I have been cleaning up the front suspension on my car and I am missing the dust cover for the tie rod ends. Is there some place I can get just the rubber covers? If there is a difference I have a 76 -280Z.thanksMichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorman7 Posted February 21, 2011 Share #3 Posted February 21, 2011 I need some of these too. Thanks for the post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted February 21, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 21, 2011 Nissan may still have them available. Part number 48522-21000 is superseded by 48522-W1401. Still shows like a good number from various online dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Posted February 22, 2011 Share #6 Posted February 22, 2011 I don't mind resistance, so I always check with Nissan first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted February 22, 2011 Share #7 Posted February 22, 2011 Just an FYI. I once installed new dust boots and then squirted in some unknown type of grease. One season later, the mystery grease had pretty much melted the OEM rubber. Now I use silicone Mobile 1 grease, with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
