97 civic ex Power steering boots(?) are ripped ! need help finding replacements
ive looked online and ebay but ive heard aftermarket boots arent an exact fit and more difficult to get in. I also cant seem to find the boot farthest to the left on the end? Is there any aftermarket ones rhat will fit nicely or should i go OEM? This is my first ever car/civic so any advice would be appreciated ! *This is the one i cant seem to find online

Those are CV joint boots. E bay motors, quick search showed them. The trick is to catch the tear and leak early. Repair kit (new boot, grease and clamp) will work, if you go too long and hear clicking noise, you will need to replace the axle shaft.

Top images are axle boots, small on one end, larger on other. 2 per axle shaft, one at transmission end, 1 at knuckle end. Power steering boost are same diameter on each end. Closer to steering gear going into rack for rack and pinion steering
