Default Source for high quality CV boots for 1997 2.2 liter?

Looking for high quality replacement CV boots for a 5th generation Accord.

Inner and Outer boots.

Does anyone know a quality brand other than OEM? or is OEM the only way to go?

Also, prefer CV boots that are an exact fit or very close, not a "one size fits all".

Thank you

The OEM boots seem to last a long time. I think the OEM clamp that holds the boot on takes a special tool to install.

I remember reading good reviews on a company called raxles. You may want to contact them to find out if they sell boot kits for your car.

I changed one boot kit and regretted starting. It is a messy job w/ high probability that joint has been damaged by faulty existing boot allowing dirt/wear.

good luck

Yeah, on FWD cars, I just swap the entire axle if a boot is split. I couldn't tell you who makes good boots, but I to have heard good things about raxles.
