One year after being installed it has cracked on every bellow. Wouldn’t recommend this one.

I don't know why anyone would call these flimsy or have any issues with their quality. The rubber was malleable and thick. Cutting the inner piece to size and installing was no problem. It came with zip ties for the install. I used hose clamps instead, but have used the zip ties in the past and had no problems.Rack and pinion bellows are hard to find at any local parts place.

Fits great! Very flexible for many different fit scenarios. After 3 weeks (350 miles) it had major tears and cracks in it. No unusual driving, just didn’t hold up.

*** This boot is the kind that you can stretch over the tie rod end without having to remove anything that might mess up your alignment. ***The package includes a small cone that you put over the screw on the tie rod end, but I also put an oiled up gallon sized plastic bag under the cone. Oil the inside of the boot and start yanking it over the cone...you don't have to be super gentle, just don't poke it with something sharp. When it got to the point where the smallest end of the boot had to pull over the tie rod end, I just put my thumb in and stretched down on it while pulling it from the larger end. It popped right over with no damage to the boot or the boot on my tie rod end, but it did take some effort.(check youtube for videos on how to change a rack boot without an alignment...)Pro tip: (okay, I'm definitely no pro, but I learned something) It took me forever to get the larger end of the boot to stretch over the metal place on the rack where you're supposed to clamp it down. I've heard this may be an issue specific to these Subarus, but either way, I found that since the boot is so flexible, just turn the big end inside out a bit. Then push it up to where it's supposed to go and flip the end right side out over that metal piece. Clamp it down and you're all set. Hope that helps someone.This boot fit well on my 02 Subaru Outback, but I imagine it will fit most vehicles just fine. I had to cut the larger end of mine a bit to make it fit properly.

Not a universal fit. This was advertised as compatible with my '05 Toyota Matrix however it is too long. Within 6 mos. of installation the soft folded over rubber had started to crack. Found another (non-universal) boot on Amazon that was compatible.

I purchased and installed these (bought 2) last summer for a 2001 BMW 330xi. I was worried they would be a stiff plastic type of rubber but was happy to discover they are very flexible and very rubbery. They have been on a few months now and they are working out great.

purchased for 93 festiva and it did fit, but with a bit of trouble - very tight fit. It was the only part that I could find available anywhere, so I'm not really complaining. The price was very reasonable and it did the job well. I would much rather have a tight fit than a loose one. The clamps are zip-ties, so even more important that the fit be tight. Putting it on was a challenge. Very small space to work in, and some strength needed to get the boot over the rack, so not very fun, or quick. But still less time and money than replacing the whole rack, so worth the effort.
