CV Boot Replacement?

[WorldTraveler]

I have a '95 SR and I saw my drivers inside boot is pretty much shot.

Anyone have a specific brand or part# for replacement cv boots inner and outer? Or preference for silicone vs neoprene? Factory ones are pretty highly priced and I just wanted to know if there's a quality more cost effective option?

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks,

The OE is almost always better, especially for Mitsubishi things.

any experience with split style boots?

They scare me. I'm not sure if they'd be a suitable permanent option for me. I can see them being beneficial for emergency on the trail use, to avoid all the extra labor of replacing a torn boot on the trail, but this is an uneducated opinion. I have no experience in using the quick/split type boots. Maybe someone else can chime in on their behalf.

I'd like to, but like I said, if there's a decent aftermarket product available for a fraction of the price that someone has used and can confirm the quality, that's what I'm after.

While not sure about Mitsubishis but these are said to be excellent replacement boots (but no personal experience): http://www.rockfordcv.com/rcvboot.htm

In my case I just picked up a set at NAPA which were more expensive but I needed them ASAP.
