Hi all,

I have a 2013 CRZ and recently failed my MOT in England and the reason was the ball joint dust cover and track rod ends dusk cover.

I talked to a few garages and they told me I need to change the whole thing (ball joint and track rod end) because they do not replace the dusk cover only.
So I did some research myself on parts and looking at this.


My question is the image below is the track rod ends, does that include the ball joint as well or do I need to buy the ball joint separately? I'm a bit loss myself.

Thanks for all the help in advance!

Yes dust cover, same thing. The rubber boot at the end of the dealy-bob-mathing.

Honda sells just that rubber part and it can be replaced. Nearly as expensive as the whole assembly but it's less labor and no alignment required afterwards.

This is not typical even for Honda to sell just the rubber so most shops are going to say replacement of the whole part is the only option.
