Product description
The Steering Rack Boot is a part which protects the steering rack from extraneous substances such as water, dust and other pollutants.
It also prevents the exposure of the rack to excessive heat.
The steering rack boot is usually made of rubber. It is fitted between the tie rod end and the steering rack and pinion, and acts as a seal between them. It also allows for the lateral and vertical movement of the rack ends while steering or driving over bumps.
The steering rack boot can eventually develop cracks or leaks. This can cause oil or dirt to seep into the steering rack and cause it to fail. If you experience a rough steering, you should consider inspecting your steering rack boot.
