This kit basically replaces the rubber boots that cover the ends of your steering rack. Those boots are flexible rubber covers, and the kit includes several of them, usually four, plus some clamps to hold them in place. They slide over the metal parts where the steering linkage connects to the steering rack itself. Think of your steering rack as the heart of your steering system. It’s what actually turns the wheels. Those boots protect the critical parts of the rack – the ball joints and sliding surfaces – from dirt, water, salt, and just general road grime. They keep the grease inside, lubricating everything so it moves smoothly. The boots allow movement while sealing out the bad stuff. If those boots tear or crack, which they will do over time with heat and age, everything starts to get contaminated. Dirt gets in and it acts like sandpaper, grinding away at those ball joints and rack internals. You’ll notice if one goes bad because you’ll probably start feeling play in the steering, maybe hear some clunking noises, especially when turning, or you might even fail a safety inspection. Replacing these boots is a lot cheaper and easier than replacing the entire steering rack. You can often find a kit like this at places like Fixparts Online, and it's something a reasonably skilled DIYer can tackle. Ignoring it though will eventually lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road. Buy risk-free: Steering Rack Boot Kit (MPN 33475) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
