hello everybody, hope all is well?
replaced the front brake pads on nelly and realised a steering rack gaiter had split.
ordered new gaiters and one side fitted fine (the side that had split)
but when i went to remove the gaiter on the other side - i was MUCH longer
and totally different. strictly speaking i dont have to change it but i would like to.

ive had a look at minispares site and this gaiter looks NOTHINING like the types they list.
although their 7.5 inch long gaiter will probably fit .
does anyone know what is going on?
my new rack was fitted in about 2008.

thanks for any suggestions.

getting the sae90 oil in afterwards?
tricky. didnt like doing it.
left the mystery gaiter installed - just cleaned it with a rag
so that the MOT man can see ive been there.

Is the longer boot on the passenger side?

As my current rack has a very long boot on this side, the bellows part is the same length either side but there is a long cylindrical extra part of the boot on the passenger one, Might have a look at my spare rack later today.
