axle boots
Looking for axle boots. Was going to do both inners and both outers. Pn I found in older threads arent turning up with anything and the local parts stores dont show a valid pn. Anyone have any insight or cross reference to another car?

What do you do with the car? Any track or autocross?

I would NOT use part store boots then. The issue with C5 boots at speed is that they swell and burst.
Call the Drive Shaft Shop and ask for their 5th gen Camaro boot rebuild kit. Its a smaller boot that is more flexible and doesnt expand like the factory C5 stuff. Use clamps on the big end but leave them off the shaft. This allows the heat to escape when the grease gets hot and keeps the boots from expanding.
