Is there any significant difference between Nissan CV boots and aftermarket? Anyone heard of CV boots or any aftermarket parts made by Linking Focus, Inc. I need to replacement both my outer and inner boots, Courtesy quoted me $15 for outer and $32 for inner, I can buy this aftermarket brand by Linking Focus for $9.00 outer and inner, so any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The ones I bought for mine were about the same price. Made by Constant Velocity Products/ Borg Warner...
They looked to be of very high quality, so I'm not worried about them lasting.

just look at the rubber they're made from and ask yourself if it's something you can see lasting for 100k miles. is it soft and pliable and stretch a little, or is it hard to flex, thin and cheap looking?

BTW.. the boots that I bought included all the bands, grease, e-clips, etc needed for the rebuild.
