they are difficult to find

go to a local motor factor and ask for the inner gaitor from a sierra 4x4, don't matter which one or engine size as they are all the same gaitors

if you tkae the old one in with you it'll be possible to match as some will give you the outer one, even though it's the correct part number on the box

the ford inner ones are now different, they are now made by another supplier & don't have the neck like the old ones.

yes inner ones are solid to find ... my shafts problems on tha side were me due to finding out recon shafts were being fitted with new boots and the boots aren't big enough ie not got enough stretch in them so was constantly pulling the big end of the boot off and fcuking the joint i went through 3 shats to find this out ... the only option available is to use a long boot and instead of clamping the small end where it should, clamp it the other side of the ridge and it will never pull the boot off

bit of a cheat works very well just a shame they dont make the proper sized ones anymore
