[s-cars] LF Outer CV boot

[Matt Russell]

Matt - the usual sources are fine, i purchased mine from sjm, but most 
german boot kits will include new clamps, boot, grease, and a bolt.  
the kits are normally 18-30 bucks.  You'll need the right pliers to get 
the clamp tight.

You may want to consider how long that joint has been exposed to the 
salt and sand of winter roads in Maine, however (yes, i used to live in 
NE!.... 8-) )  Check the old grease for contamination: if a sample 
rubbed between your fingers feels gritty, i'd do the whole joint.

Or bite the bullet for the extra 100-125 bucks for a whole joint and 
save yourself the aggravation if it starts making noise in a couple 
months - and do the whole joint.  If you can afford it, i would.
