Replacing a steering rack boot/gaiter can be tedious, often requiring adjustments that impact wheel tracking. However, Connect Workshop Consumables offers a smarter solution with their easy-to-fit steering rack boot kit (part number 37663).
This innovative kit allows for a quick and straightforward replacement process. Unlike traditional methods, you don’t need to remove the track rod end, potentially affecting wheel alignment. Instead, you simply detach the track rod end and utilise the specially designed fitting cone to stretch the new boot over the track rod and onto the steering rack housing.
This method saves both time and money by eliminating the need for wheel tracking adjustments after installation.
Designed as a direct replacement for original equipment (OE) parts, the Connect Workshop Consumables boot offers superior flexibility to minimise future wear and tear. The material is resistant to oil, grease, grit, abrasion, and extremes of temperature, offering exceptional protection against tears and impact damage.
The replacement boot offers a wide range of compatibility, fitting track rod diameters of 8 to 49mm and rack flange diameters of 24 to 52mm. The boot itself measures 192-232mm in length. Each kit includes two steering rack boots, cable ties for secure fastening, and the essential fitting cone.
This steering rack boot kit is part of Connect Workshop Consumables’ extensive range of automotive consumables. The kit is readily available from local stockists and online retailers.
