Default Best place to buy a genuine CV joint? And caliper bleed nipples?

As title really. I am thinking that genuine Subaru is my best bet for a CV joint for my Classic? Who sells them? Do Subaru still do them? How much am I looking at?

Am I better off buying from a breaker or is it a false economy?

Also where can I buy bleed nipples for four pot calipers? Mine are rounding off

Contact Ian Godney at Godspeed for the bleed nipples, I believe he makes his own

As for the CV boot, unless you drop on one from a scrappers, then dealer or Jap parts.

Suppose the CV joints from Camskill will do. But which of these would a 93 WRX Wagon use ont he front? There seems to be quite a choice:

Thank you! I presume as I have ABS, that that's the one for me?

OK that one looks wrong. That web site says early cars had an ABS ring on the hub, not the CV joint. So I have ordered the one which they say is correct.
