Driveshaft outer CV boot

[malcolm]

I damaged a rubber boot on a new driveshaft. I put a new boot on (BOLK from Auto Doc) but it doesn't fit well. I managed to get some clearance to the lower suspension arm but there's probably not enough clearance for all suspension articulation and it'll probably fall off or wear quickly.

Anyone have any recommendations for brands or suppliers of decent boots that are made to fit in the tight space available for the outer CV boot?

It might not be the boot thats the problem Malcolm. Some aftermarket suspension knuckle joints are too long, so reducing the gap between bottom suspension arm and drive-shaft. The Delphi product is a case in point, some 4mm longer than the original part, so when the car is jacked up you cannot spin the wheel with out damaging the boot retaining clip and boot. I found out the hard way.
