Included Components

The kit is assembled with precision to ensure a seamless fit. Each part plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the steering system:

1. Left‑Side Steering Boot: Protects the left tie rod and associated linkages.
2. Right‑Side Steering Boot: Mirrors the left side for balanced protection.
3. Front Tie Rod End Boots: Separate boots that cover the front ends of both tie rods, preventing wear from road debris.
4. Rear Tie Rod End Boots (if applicable): For models with rear steering components, these boots safeguard against contamination.
5. Installation Guides and Fastening Hardware: Includes all necessary screws, bolts, and instructions for a secure fit.

Benefits of Replacement

Replacing worn or damaged steering boots with the Lemforder kit offers several tangible advantages:

• Enhanced Steering Precision: Clean, dry components reduce play and improve responsiveness.
• Reduced Wear on Bearings: By keeping contaminants out, bearings experience less friction and last longer.
• Improved Safety: A well‑sealed steering system is less likely to fail under stress, providing reliable control during critical maneuvers.
• Cost Savings: Preventing damage to expensive steering parts saves on future repairs or replacements.

Installation Overview

The installation process is designed for both professional mechanics and knowledgeable DIY enthusiasts. Below is a concise step‑by‑step guide:

1. Preparation: Raise the vehicle securely using jack stands, remove wheel covers, and clean the steering components to ensure proper adhesion.
2. Remove Old Boots: Carefully detach any remaining old boots or debris from the tie rods and shaft.
3. Position New Boots: Align each boot with its corresponding component. The kit’s markings help identify left versus right sides.
4. Screw Fastening: Use the supplied screws to secure the boots in place, ensuring a snug fit without over‑tightening.
5. Check Alignment: Verify that all boots are correctly seated and that there is no interference with moving parts.
6. Final Inspection: Inspect for gaps or loose fittings. Tighten any loose fasteners before lowering the vehicle.

Compatibility Details

The Lemforder 3360001 Steering Boot Kit is engineered to fit a variety of vehicles that share similar steering geometry. Commonly compatible models include:

• Honda CR‑V (1995‑2002) – both left and right side boots.
• Honda Accord – especially the Civic and CR‑V variants.
• Other vehicles with the same steering shaft and tie rod dimensions, such as certain SUVs and compact cars from the late 1990s to early 2000s.

For exact fitment confirmation, consult your vehicle’s service manual or a trusted automotive parts database using the part number 3360001.
