Choosing the Right Boot for your vehicle or application
What size Steering Rack Boot do I need? Let us help you select the best replacement steering rack boot for your vehicle or application.
Step-by-Step Steering Rack Boot Selection Guide
Step 1: Measure Your Old Boot size
You need to know the size of the steering rack boot you wish to replace. Start by measuring or finding out the following:
- Steering Rack Housing Diameter
- Tie Rod Diameter
- Length of boot (Relaxed/Neutral position)
STRETCH CV Boots are very forgiving when fitting, so don’t feel you need to be millimetre perfect in your measuring. Approximates are often good enough.
**Fitting Tip: Do not shorten the boot to fit a larger diameter housing. Always fit the boot by length 1st. The small clamping point at the larger end of the Steering Rack Boot should stretch large enough to fit almost any steering rack housing diameter.
Step 2: Check STRETCH Boot Sizes
You will find all our Steering Rack Boots listed on the Steering Boots page of our website. Here, you will find information and images of our boots along with their sizes. Clicking on any Steering Rack Boot image on this page will open it up and allow you to see the boot size dimensions of the boot you have selected. Use this information to determine which boot best matches your measurements and requirements.

Step 3: Select and Order Your Boots
After following Steps 1 and 2, you should be able to decide if any of our boots are suitable for your application. Once decided, from our Steering Rack Boots Page, click the “VISIT SHOP” button for the boot you wish to order, and it will take you through to our shop allowing you to select, confirm and add the selected boot to your shopping cart.
We offer boots to fit almost any vehicle. STRETCH Boots are also successfully used in many other applications including plant equipment, marine, excavation machinery and industrial applications.
STRETCH Boots are Universal Fitting
All our STRETCH boots are designed for universal fitting. With this in mind we are here to give you the tools and information required to help you make an informed and appropriate boot selection. While we provide this information to you, it is ultimately your responsibility to choose the appropriate boot for your application. We are not able to provide size or fitting recommendations for any specific vehicle or application and we cannot guarantee the fit or suitability of our boots for any given application.
Using the information above, we recommend that the intended fitter checks and determines the most suitable boot using the Steering Boot Size information available on the STRETCH website.
We hope this guide has helped you to understand and select the best CV Boot for your needs. For any further assistance, please get in touch with our support team via CONTACT US if you have any further questions.
