cv joint gaiter

[will930]

right well basically i fitted a new one this time last year for the mot.... and after it was swapped to the new shaft etc its been fine but looking at it yesterday its already badly perished and the one on the other side is well on its way out too... over the inboard cv gaitors are fine...

ive seen somewhere beofre that cv gaitors are pants but i was wondering if anyone knows of a better one or something that will help them last longer

as i would of changed them yesterday with the shafts out but as i didnt have new ones i regretably had to put them on with the pants gaitors...

My cheap ones from Europarts seem to be lasting quite well.
