I really appreciate you reply, I am very confident the parts installed are correct, ok let me clarify the one side has a febi boot
Checked my chassis number on realoem and it states 31607507402 which is the type A and the shaft has the same shape as shown on realoem, I looked at it on the car.
And the febi had part number printed on box is 31607507402
Other ‘problem’ boot is GKN Loebro and I don’t have the box but markings are the same as those sold on ebay, again the part number on the gkn boxes show same as the realoem ie 31607507402- compare codes printed on my actual boot to those sold online, so sure it is ok.
Difference being the febi has an oetiker clamp with 33mm marked on it and the gkn has a clamp on it marked 35mmm AND loose, so I figured I try to use a 33mm clamp from another febi boot kit I installed and see….for sure the small end of the boot should not move left to right should it? But both are the correct boots, so go figure, just think the gkn boot had sub quality clips ,its not tight and not right.
