Heres what you need, does all boots and cv joints in one go, also less labour to fit than the cv boots, as recomended by me and everyone who ive told on here including aparently bw chiptune.

but honestly every boot and cv joint done in one go for £50

I paid 170. And I used the above parts. Good quality stuff, even Jason was asking after them.
