When you turn lock to lock does the rubber boot twist within itself or does the ball and tapered pin rotate in the boot? cheers, John

Latter I would expect. Add grease if yours is sticking.

Thanks Jon, you are right, I've put new boots on old [but good] joints and greased them well but I had the feeling that they appeared tight on the shaft. I just marked them up and turned the wheels, the shafts moved in the boots. Phew, I thought I might be having to do the job again, cheers, John.

You're welcome!
