Steering boot kit
Just found that the driver side boot is leaking. I have a 2000 metro w. manual steering. I had a look online and most places seem to sell boots for power steering only. Has anyone ever bought a boot kit for the manual steering system.

Re: Steering boot kit
Don't know, that's weird. Suzuki Dealer I use a lot wants $15 for a boot for P/S and $60 for a manual rack boot. They also want more for a manual rack than a power one, no sense at all.
You're sure it's the tie rod boot that's leaking? I've had mine off and nothing came out of there. Much more common for the axle boot to crack, and it's got a bunch of grease inside.

Re: Steering boot kit
Yes, I'm fairly sure that the streering rack boot is leaking as it has put grease around the general area and is also coated in grease. The axel boots are completely clean with nothing on them.
I could buy a reman steering gear unit but the price made me think of just replacing the boots myself - just a case of locating someone who sells it. I can well believe it would be $60 for a piece of plastic from the GM dealer.
