Hi L-A,

You can most definetly use the 944 boot, same function just not the same
"look".

Cheers

Hi Martin,

I've never replaced this boot on the cars I worked on. I took what David
Purchase (83audiurq at gmail.com) wrote for granted :

"The part number for the CV boots I am using on my prop shaft are: GKN
300477 on the box. AKA GKN/ Lobro P/N 944 331 903 00."

Thanks for the clarification.

Louis-Alain
