Default GS350 AWD front inner CV boots - get from where?

I tried searching, nothing obvious came up.

Just wondering where everyone gets their inner CV boots for the front axles? The "universal" ones suggested by amazon don't look like they will fit when i compare dims to the axle.

Thanks,
Julian

I purchased mine from rockauto.com and ordered the cordone cv axles. I didnt bother replacing just the boots as the price was pretty close and with labour time, its faster and cheaper to just replace the whole axle. Luckly only one side of the cv axle was leaking and it was the smaller drivers axle, and that axle is way easier to remove then the passenger long axle which is a nightmare to remove.

I would avoid using cheap boots, those do not last long. I checked the reviews of cordone, and they rebuild oem axles, with high quality boots. The cheap china axles will only last a year or two. If you are still wanting to replace only the boots you can purchase oem ones from the dealer or from even toyota cars. Or do some reach for a high quality boots, I forgot the name of the material that oem uses, but many aftermarket are not up to par as they are pricey.
