that is the best i can find they would prob be ok when the shafts fitted back up as it compresses the inner joint so takes the tension off the boot but i fitted one off the car and because i had to stretch the boot you could see it pulling back down the driveshaft while it was sat there,plus ford obviously made them that length for a reason so i dont want to be fitting shorter ones

I bought mine from GGR. I’m pretty sure they are different to the standard items and remember similar problems. But once fitted and sitting at their normal operating height have been fine for many miles.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Had the same issue finding CV boots for a MK1 Focus RS.
Got given about 3 part numbers, all were wrong.
The boots specifically listed for the Focus are only available as part of a new driveshaft at Ł600!
But it turns out that the boots for a MK3 2.2 Diesel Mondeo are exactly the same part which you can buy direct from Ford for Ł70ish

even the catalogues from the after market manufactures seem to have the wrong pictures in and some even list boots of two different diameters for the front.
what you can do under these conditions (or where the boot's seal wants to be in an incorrect position on the shaft cos the boots too short) is biuld up the shaft diameter with a few layers of black heat shrink tubing to make the boot a tight fit and if you need to 'engineer a different place' on the shaft for the seal you can build up a few layers of heat shrink each side of where you want the recess then a final top layer will shrink into the gap. the boot will then seal just fine on the top layer as the tubing is not affected by grease

Is 6672257 one of the part numbers you've been given?
https://ford.7zap.com/en/car/83/6.35...7354/75341/#20
6672257 is listed on motomobil but unavailable,
but there's an alternative which does seem to be in stock
https://www.motomobil.com/front-axle...3410240-3.html
6672257 is also listed on an online Ford dealers parts shop
https://www.hendyeshop.co.uk/kit---d...57-45263-p.asp
hope those help

Have you got the engineering number off the original?
Might pay you to do a Google search on that. I confirmed the part number for the Focus one when I searched using that number. Found a x-reference website where it listed all the part numbers that were compatible from multiple different suppliers including Ford.
have a look here. I can't see anything listed that even remotely comes close to the length of your one

Surely the shorter one will be fine, especially as it’s an inner joint boot it doesn’t need to be as flexible as an outer, just make sure it’s on nice and tight and has the correct amount of grease in it, then just check it doesn’t catch internally when moved but looking at the both of them you have more space at the joint than the original.
At the end of the day it’s only a cover to keep the grease in and the dirt out. Unless this is for a concourse Car then just get one made.
