OK the CV joints are NLA, how about what is everyone using for boots after cleaning and rebuilding?
Thank you in advance

The boots are widely available. Lobro still makes them I believe.

Make sure you get the right washers and stick them on the right way.

As far as rebuilding....as far as I know.... once a bearing is gone....it is gone.

I used new Type I's.

Chris Foley at Tangerine machines recesses in them for the gaskets.

Good luck.

if you can find an old original set of 2 piece boots. (picture) ones that the flange seperates from the boot, than i recommend rockford driveline boots. they are way thicker and made of better rubber than the new german or brazilian boots. i got sick of replacing boots every 5k miles. the rockfords are well over 10k now and feel brand new.
