1987 KBS Mk3, modified with quad link rear suspension, but the links are much longer than the distance between the jackshaft and the rear axle, so CV joints are needed to allow for suspension travel. They were universal replacement boots from Autozone, cut down to the smallest of 3 big end size steps. They were NOT the split type that you can put on without disassembling the joint. I will be posting a photo soon. Regards, Tony Jagodnik NER SoloII FM 6 '87 KBS Mk3 F500 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
