I salvaged two good boots from the 2 sets of arms I had - i struggled to find some new boots the right size although IIRC Andy P did.....hmmmm or it might have been someone else....

Now sorted, my dad suggested I have a look at the boots on an old set of drop links-perfect, pop straight on and all the clips can be re used with a little care.
FYI I found the easiest way to remove the boot was to clamp the threaded part in a vice and lever the link until the ball pops out, the boot and clips can then simply be removed without damage..Current-2004 Impreza PPP wagon

I have a full set of front and rear arms here to use as a template. The problem at the moment is finding a suppler TBH. I'll see how the seat frames go. The issue is that small manufacturers are normally quite specialised and so a part with a combination of welding and machining has to be sourced from multiple suppliers.
A set of rose jointed front and rear arms really isn't a complex part, if there's interest then I'll get working on it.Cheers'en, AndyC

Yeah would be a bit worried if I had just popped that out to grease it up
Was just mentioning it as its something that takes a couple of secs to whip of your old droplinks (if boots ok) and may come in handy.Current-2004 Impreza PPP wagon

the 034 stuff is way over-priced.
i got the ball-joint studs from that kit for $38/ea USD. then got my own rods for ~$10 USD each. sourced the Heims, and i was complete for less than $200 USD. much less if i had not been drinking the night i purchased the Heims (rose) joints and got the spendy ($40/ea USD) ones instead of the lesser expensive.
see, the 034 kit is those studs to replace the ball joint and the radius rod only and you have to source the heims/rose joints yourself.
here are mine. i did the front as well....
