Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and disconnect the battery for safety.
2. Remove Old Boot: Carefully detach the existing steering boot by loosening the mounting clamps or screws. Gently pull the boot away from the shaft to avoid damaging surrounding components.
3. Clean the Shaft: Use a clean rag and mild solvent to remove any debris, oil, or old sealant from the steering shaft and joint areas.
4. Position New Boot: Slide the new boot onto the shaft, ensuring that the compression seal aligns correctly with the shaft’s diameter. Verify that the boot covers all critical joints.
5. Secure Fasteners: Tighten the mounting clamps or screws to the manufacturer’s specified torque settings. Check for even pressure distribution around the shaft.
6. Repeat on Opposite Side: Perform steps 2–5 for the other side of the front axle if the kit includes dual‑side coverage.
7. Final Inspection: Inspect the boot for any gaps or misalignments. Reconnect the battery and perform a short test drive to confirm smooth steering operation.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the boot annually for signs of cracking, bulging, or oil leakage.
