Ball-joint protectors are prone to corrosion, probably a consequence of the proximity of road salt and the heat generated by the brake discs. If you are renewing the ball-joint, check the condition of the protector to ensure it is still serviceable. I have seen a case where the protector was severely corroded, and was thrown away and not replaced, and the new ball-joint failed soon afterwards. For some vehicles, the ball-joint is not a separate item and the entire lower suspension arm needs to be replaced. The cost of these protectors is negligible compared to the cost of buying and fitting a new ball-joint. As for the long-term durability of this protector, it is too early to say. But after 12 months it is looking OK
