        Greg, you may have heard  this already but that ball is moulded on
the lever.  They do come off  occasionally over time.  Sometimes the ball
has split and then it's  toast.  I "MAY" have a good used one here.  I'll have
to go look but  if you call later today I should have looked by then.  They
are a VW part  only and the last time I needed one it came from VW they my
be discontinued by  now, best is to check.  The bushings ate the same story,
but I have  none.  The boots I have and came from various places.  Also,
examine the socket as they go funky also.  Another VW part only, if they  are
still available.
