Reply to "STEERING RACK BOOTS"

NATE,
I think the original boots broke up because they were too short. I fooled around with mine when they arrived and came to the conclusion that the inboard end would fit fine and the outboard end is very different than the original.

I eventually decided to install them as received as the small diameter stepped end that goes outboard telescopes into the main body.
That is exactly what happens when the car is driven, the two stepped ends have telescoped inside themselves but start to extend at full turn. That means that there is no stress on the boot as it is never fully extended, it just barely starts to extend out, never to the full length.
I zip tied the inboard end and let the other on the tie-rod end alone as it is very tight.
I have driven the car over a hundred miles since installation and everything is fine.
