Evo 9 Drive/Long Shaft Leaks

Hi, first of all, I am not sure the correct name for this part as some called it drive shaft, some called it long shaft. Its the middle longest shaft underneath the car from front to rear.
As photo attached, there seems to be a leak of probably 'grease' from the 'bush connector' of the shaft.
My mechanic told me that I can't just replace that 'bush connector' that leaked, most likely have to source the entire shaft internationally.
I've sent this photo to my country Mitsubishi distributor, the only one, and they told me they are not selling it anymore. So I thought of ordering it from other country, but I want to make sure that I will ordered the correct things. Would someone kind enough to let me know exactly the name of this part, or the part number?
Or if anyone ever replaced just the 'bush connector', would appreciate if you can share the part number so I can source for it.
Thank you.

That is the boot for the lobro joint, type of constant velocity joint for the driveshaft. Little tricky to refurbish with all the ball bearings. May be better to source a used one in better condition.

Find more info about the propeller shaft in the factory service manual: https://evoscan.com/wp-content/uploa...0005900-25.pdf

I documented the refurbishing of that part here and put together a how-to doc too:
