My indy recommends OEM CV boots. Says many aftermarket ones are too thin and often have to be replaced again within a year.

Managed to catch mine within a few days of starting to leak. Only had to replace the boots. My indy feels, depending upon how much driving & driving conditions, you can get away with 2 weeks of driving and not have to replace the axle. So look first before telling them to replace the axles.
