Compatibility Overview

The kit is engineered to match the steering rack geometry of a broad spectrum of vehicles. Below are representative models that benefit from this replacement part:

• CITROËN XANTIA, XM, and XSARA PICASSO (1999‑2012)
• PEUGEOT 405 I & II, 605, and MPV variants
• Other front‑axle vehicles requiring a steering rack boot on the outer side of the axle.

For precise fitment, consult the vehicle’s service manual or the manufacturer’s specifications to confirm compatibility with the specific year, trim, and drivetrain layout.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the existing boot by loosening any retaining clips or fasteners. Clean the steering shaft and surrounding area to ensure a clean surface for the new boot.
2. Positioning: Align the left boot assembly with the left side of the steering rack, ensuring that the reinforced edge sits flush against the shaft. Repeat on the right side.
3. Securing: Fasten each boot using the provided clips or screws. Tighten evenly to avoid gaps while preventing over‑tightening that could damage the rubber.
4. Verification: Inspect the seal for any visible gaps or misalignments. Rotate the steering wheel through its full range of motion to confirm smooth operation and absence of rattles.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the boots annually for signs of wear, cracking, or separation from the shaft.
• Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals that can degrade rubber; use approved automotive cleaners only.
• If a boot shows early deterioration, replace it promptly to prevent contamination of the steering system.
