Why do I feel like I answer this question on a daily basis...

Steering rack boots - Generic - Supercheap/AutoOne/Repco etc

CV boot - dont be a tight arse, spend the $39 on eBay, replace the whole joint. Kit comes with boot, grease straps, everything.
If the boot is that old that it's worn itself a hole, chances are the joint is worn as well.

If u wanna be really cheap u can swap the CV joint to the other side to get more life out of it lol

Oh & btw, if you do want to tight arse it, the boot on its own (still comes as a kit with grease & straps) is $28 bucks from Repco - to suit HJ Galant

How would someone fit that CV joint?
And would it effectively be a recondition driveshaft, or would you need to get a new joint for the gearbox side too?

I really should make this into a DIY..

I usally get my driveshaft guy to do the inners. Traditionally, they don't wear as quickly as CVs as they're not subject to the same stresses as the CV.

He charges $90 per shaft to the lot (both CV & inner)

1 f**king letter.

But to your credit, you correctly identified something.

I wasn't really asking where to get them, was just wondering if anyone had a new set lying around for sale as Ive seen a few for sale up here lately.. but thank you Ben. And nah not going to be a tight arse on this one, just gonna do em so they're done properly and I dont have to worry. Will be buying the kits.

Just a quick comment on this. If you have ABS, the ebay joint wont work for you. Youll need one with the cogs instead.

They've got the ABS version, just make a note of it when you buy

Why fart arse around with doing a DIY?
When you can go to GODBENNOZ, remove your shafts, take them down the road (free trip in Red Rocket), go back to GODBENNOZ sanctuary, drink beer/eat lunch, go back to pick up you shafts (Red Rocket), back to the sanctuary for reinstalation, wave bye and piss off.
