I'm sure Merlin had the exact opposite brain fart the last time spudep91 asked for something like this

Yep, sorry, I was thinking it was steering rack gaitors - they were the asked about recently I think, weren't they and I just assumed it was the same question!

Universal CV gaitors can be used I'm sure. Varying degrees of success with how long they last, from my understanding?

Stretch boots for the win!! No disassembly required

i got through 4 universal boots changing one of mine, and it split in half a couple of weeks later -.-

I always use http://www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk/ for boots, shafts, joints - 2yr guarantee and quality parts at very cheap prices!

Universal ones will do just fine, pick up the green stretch cone too, use fairy liquid when sliding the boot over the CV joint, turn the boot inside out before sliding,

Cut the boot to size once on because if you don't the rubber will bunch up as you turn your wheel and wear against each other and will rip.

Yes, this - I've had a brand new (supposedly the correct one, not universal) fail within 500 miles because of this. I am still drokking furious. Bloody Unipart...
