Thrust arm ball joints

[Sidney Rough-Diamond]

Been looking over the 540 and seen that the thrust arm ball joint rubbers are both perished and starting to split. The arms are only 6 months old and still good , so I'm looking to just replace the rubbers,so does anyone know what size the rubbers are at the base, top and hight of the rubber uncompressed.Anyone got a scrap arm lying about they could take a caliper to?

Cheers

They do not sell directly to private persons, only wholesale.

Not sure what size your Thrust arm has.
So one of these diameters
33 x 15 mm
29 x 14 mm

Interesting info, but no one got a new or old 5 series arm on the bench they could take a caliper to ?
