Durable material The boot is made of rubber that provides flexibility, allowing it to move with steering components while resisting cracking or breakage. The durable, wearresistant rubber protects the end of the connecting rod from dirt and grime that could cause damage. Protect the end of the tie rod The boot acts as a protective shield to prevent dirt, dust and debris from entering the end of the tie rod, reducing wear on moving parts. By repelling water, it helps prevent rust and corrosion at the end of the connecting rod, which is critical to maintaining steering integrity and longevity. Keep steering accuracy The end of the tie rod is protected by the boot, helping ensure the vehicle responds precisely to steering inputs, which is essential for control during speeds or sudden turns. By keeping impurities and lubrication inside, the end of the tie rod experiences less friction and wear, supporting sustained tension and responsiveness of the steering system over time. Universal fit The package includes 14 different sizes of tie down bar boots, suitable for different vehicle models such as cars, caravans, SUVs, trucks and more, so you don't have to find a specific part for each car. For a full size list of each tie clip, please read our product description below. Practical applications Regular road driving in cars and SUVs to protect tie rod ends from dirt and grime. Caravans and trucks during towing or long trips where steering components face higher exposure to moisture and debris. Offroad or dusty environments where the boot keeps dirt out while retaining lubrication to maintain steering response.
