Compatibility Overview

The Lemforder 3011001 Steering Boot Kit is specifically tailored for:

• Peugeot 106 MK II (1A_, 1C_) – 1996‑2005
• Citroën Saxo – 1996‑2005

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during work on the steering system.
2. Remove Old Boots: Carefully pry off the existing steering boots using a flathead screwdriver or a dedicated boot removal tool. Take note of how the old boots were positioned for reference.
3. Clean the Surface: Wipe the exposed steering components with a clean rag to remove any debris, rust flakes, or old sealant residue. A clean surface promotes better adhesion and longevity.
4. Position New Boots: Align each boot according to its designated side (left, right, outer). Ensure that the boot’s inner edge sits flush against the steering component without gaps.
5. Secure with Fasteners: Use the provided clips or fasteners to attach the boots. Tighten them evenly to avoid uneven pressure points that could cause premature wear.
6. Check Alignment: Verify that all boots are seated correctly and that there is no overlap or misalignment. A properly fitted boot will sit snugly against the component without excess slack.
7. Reconnect Battery: Once installation is complete, reconnect the battery and perform a quick test drive to confirm smooth steering operation.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect boots annually for signs of wear such as cracks, bulges, or tears. Replace any damaged sections immediately to prevent fluid leaks.
• Avoid exposing the boots to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods; store the vehicle in a shaded area when possible.
• Use only recommended lubricants and fluids on steering components to maintain optimal performance and reduce friction.
