    For sometime I have been ordering cv boots the universal kind from
    JC Whitney. Today I was servicing a truck to a new mini trucker and notice the outside drivers cv boot was weak. I new it would take a couple of days to order one so for the heck I ran down to O'riely's and found the same cv univerasl boot. But these are made by Doorman. Should be better quality. They were like 16.00 + tax. These should fit the Daihatsu, Suzuki, Mazda and Mits. They make them a little longer so you can cut off what you dont need. Always take your old one with you so you can match them up.
    I dont mess with Hon or Subs so Not sure if they will fit them.
    They are called Universal Fit CV boot.

    Are thoses the "DORMAN UNI-FIT" 614-001 kit orange, black, white box?
    No good for the off road use. I go through a few boot sets a year on my truck and keep coming back to the "red stallions" I get from my atv dealer, they usually last for the full season. The auto store ones didn't last the week, while out bush road running. Supos' to be a life time garenty on the dorman's, but it's only replacement, I said "no thanks".
    My dealer said that he's getting some "armor" boots in next, I'll give them a shot next time I rip one off.
    Not trying to beat you up here, the more info the better, and I think that those boots would work out fine for on-road use.

    Standard issue outer boot for a 1993 Sprint. The thick kind that you only can put on by pulling apart the whole halfshaft. $14 at my local Lordco (Napa, Pep Boys, whatever).
