Who sells Steering Rack Boots that fit?

[JohnnyO]

I purchased steering rack boots from Rock Auto. They are Raybestos brand and they dont fit right. The rack side is too big and the tie rod side seems a little tight.

Does anyone make rack boots that fit correctly on an early Series 1?

If not, I guess I could clean my original ones up. No tears, just old. They are the type that slip over the rack end without any fasteners. Pretty sure these were the originals.

Thanks,

I bought mine at MSA. They have 2 kinds, the expensive ones and the "aftermarket" ones for around $39.00(which I bought). They fit fine and fasten on with zip ties.

Did they fit snuggly on the rack side or were they loose until you tied them down?

They were pretty tight. In fact, I think I had to turn them inside out and sort of roll them over the rack. Kind of tough with all the grease I had applied.
