Easy-to-fit steering rack boot kit
Steering rack boot (or gaiter) replacement: if you pop the track-rod end then unscrew it to remove the old rack boot you will affect the front wheel tracking. Yes, you can count the threads, etc, and get the track rod back in approximately the same position, but it won’t be 100% correct. However, with this easy to fit steering rack boot kit from Connect Workshop Consumables (part number 37663), you simply pop the track rod end, then using the specially-designed fitting cone, stretch the new boot over the track-rod end and across to the steering rack housing. Quick and easy, you do not disturb the track-rod positioning, and therefore the wheel tracking, saving both time and money.
Designed as a direct replacement for OE applications, plus the superior flexibility minimalises subsequent wear and tear. The boot material is resistant to oil, grease, grit, abrasion, extremes of temperature as well as tearing and impact damage.
The replacement boot fits track rod diameters of 8 to 49mm, and rack flange diameter of 24 to 52mm. The length is 192-232mm. The kit contains two steering rack boots, together with cable ties to secure, plus the special fitting cone.
