Rack Boots

Hi all,
I have an AE86 Sprinter, and was about to get my wheels aligned, when the guy about to do the alignmnet told me that both my rack boots are broked. He then told me that I shouldn't bother with the alignment till they're fixed 
So I did a little search along forums and found that AE70 and AE71 have the same manual steering racks. So I was wondering if this is true and are the rack boots the same as for an AE86?
I only ask as a backup if places don't have boots for an AE86 and if could ask for AE70/1 boots instead.
Any help would be appreciated ^_^

Go to Repco, ask for two universal Rack boots. Mark where the lock nuts and outer ball joints are positioned, and count the number of turns to remove both sides - they should be equal. Remove the rack boots, clean out any crap, regrease, cut the new rack boots to suit, and install. Rethread the outer ball joints to where they were originally, and then send it in for a wheel alignment. The job will cost you $19.20 for 2 rack boots and time.

The universal ones will do the job, but I haven't found any yet that are a perfect fit for the Corolla rack - if you're the fussy kind
