Hi my ones ontop are a bit blocked on the ball joint.

where can i buy new? are they specialist mini type?

where would i go to buy in qld?

i have tried to clean them out but they are a bit stuffed.

easier to buy new ones, does anyone use caps on them? to keep dirt getting in?

:)

Try the usual places like bunnings, repco, autobarn, supercheap etc.

Round here, Masters is a gold mine for small car parts like grease nipples, screws / bolts (including torx screws and other rare stuff), P clamps, grommets etc.

You want 1/4" UNF ones, 45 deg ones are useful on the fronts if you can get them.
