Default inner tie rod bellow

If I wanted to get new bellows for my inner tie rods, are they one size fits all?

I can't find anything specific for the RX300 unless I order a whole parts set. I already have new inner and outer tie rods. I can't find anything on rockauto.com

If someone can post a link, I would appreciate it.

It looks like Centric 614.44021 is supposed to work. Doesn't look like it comes with the clamps though.

You can try using zip ties instead of clamps if you don't have the clamps or the tool to tighten them.

Garden hose clamps. Or whatever the technical name is. Been done before.

Is there no picture with it? Or is my browser not rendering the page correctly?

I don't see a product picture.

Also, it looks like the current bellow/boot on my RX300 should have a little exhaust tube as well. A lot of the stuff I've seen online doesn't have that little tube.

I'm just going to go to the Lexus dealership for these. Nothing online seems to be quite right and I'm not going to waste a ton of time to save $15.

Thanks for the input guys! I actually do have new metal hose clamps and if those aren't the right size, I bought zip ties as a back up.

Naah, don't zip tie. Plastic is plastic. Worm gear clamp. Easy on, easy off. No special tool required.
