2005 XJ8L Suspension Diagram
Is there a diagram that shows all associated front and rear suspension parts? I have numerous items that the boots are cracked and seem to need to be replaced. I read a post that states that just because the boot is cracked does not mean the part needs to be replaced. The grease is coming out of one the boots and depositing on the inner wheel in the rear. Is there a replacemnt ball joint for the upper "A" arm or is total replacement needed? How about the lower? Want to get a list together to plan the work needed and what the cost is going to be.

Those boots look pretty bad, and the problem is they do not seem to be available separately. As a new upper wishbone, (with boot !!) costs £165 here in the UK, this could be an expensive game, so I had a quick look on the internet at lo and behold, they are available separately.

This is a UK supplier, so you need to look around the US.
Here's another on eBay

So you need to get one off, measure it up and then look around the internet for one to fit. Manufacturers are unlikely to use boots specific to the part they are making, they will use automarket ones that are made in thousands, even milions to save money.
