DURABOOT Large – Steering Rack Boot Kit

Description

Bailcast DBSR300 Stretch Steering Rack Boot Kit

The Bailcast DBSR300 stretch steering rack boot kit contains two large Duraboot® boots and a fitting cone. It provides replacement covers for compatible larger steering racks, including many four-wheel-drive applications.

The flexible boots stretch over the tie rod ends during fitting. As a result, you can replace the covers without unscrewing the ends or changing their adjustment.

No Tie Rod End Removal

Use the supplied cone to guide each boot over the tie rod end. This fitting method avoids removing the end from the rod and helps save fitting time.

Because the steering adjustment remains unchanged, boot replacement alone does not require a wheel alignment. An alignment may still be needed if other steering work or existing faults require it.

Flexible and Hard-Wearing

Made in Britain, Duraboot® steering rack boots use the same high-quality compound as Bailcast’s CV boots. The material flexes with steering movement while resisting demanding conditions.

• Resistance to oil and grease.
• Resistance to abrasion and grit.
• Resistance to extremes of temperature.
• Resistance to tearing and impact damage.

What Is Included?

• 2 × Large Bailcast Duraboot® steering rack boots
• 1 × Steering rack boot fitting cone
• 4 × Zip tie clamps
• Fitting instructions

The fitting cone is included, so there is no separate specialist fitting device to buy. Follow the supplied instructions for preparation and installation.

Choosing the Correct Large Boot

DBSR300 is the large option in our Duraboot® steering rack boot selection. Choose by measurement rather than the size name or vehicle type alone.

Check these three measurements before ordering:

• The steering rack housing diameter at the boot seat.
• The tie rod diameter at the small-end boot seat.
• The boot length in its relaxed position.

Select the correct boot length first. Do not shorten the boot simply to fit a larger rack housing.

Our steering rack boot sizing guide explains the measuring process. You can also compare the size drawings on our steering rack boot range page.

Four-Wheel-Drive Applications

The larger design suits many compatible 4WD steering racks. However, not every four-wheel drive needs the same boot size.

Compare the original boot and mounting points with the DBSR300 size drawing. Check that the boot length allows free movement through the steering range.

Protect Your Steering Rack

A correctly fitted boot helps keep dirt and moisture away from the covered steering components. Replace a damaged cover before contamination causes further problems.

Inspect the rack and tie rod before fitting the new boot. Replacing the cover does not repair worn joints or a leaking steering rack.

Fitting and Final Checks

Follow the supplied instructions when using the cone and securing the zip tie clamps. Seat both ends correctly and keep the bellows free from excessive stretch or compression.

Check that the boot moves freely through the steering range before returning the vehicle to service.

Two-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty

Bailcast provides a two-year warranty against manufacturing defects in its Duraboot® steering rack boots. The warranty excludes general wear and tear, misuse and consumable items.
