Hmm... guess I need to go look at mine.
A few of you mentioned you also had torn steering rack boots.
I'd like to host a tech day specifically for replacement of torn steering rack boots. We can look at a group buy on the boots as well.
I'd like to gauge interest in this so please respond if you'd like to participate and/or have need of new boots.
Location will be near 380/75 in McKinney.
Date is Saturday, April 21st, 2007.

.... no Miata
I need to replace the steering rack boots on my Miata. Count me in.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Both mine are split, so I am in. Maybe at the same time someone can figure out the front end noise I've got every time I run over a rough patch of road. Sounds like a coffee can full of lug bolts. I've checked the front end and everything seems tight, maybe someone else has had this before.

Count me in. I will go ahead and order some boots. I have a manual rack, and I don't know if they interchangeable from year to year or options. Mine are due. Also, need to get tie rod end links while I'm down there.
Are these the right boots?

I called Autozone in McKinney. Phil, the manager said he has a $20 kit that includes both boots. He will knock off 10% if we do a group buy.
This might be a generic kit. Do you think this will work ok?
If anyone can find a better deal, let me know.
Group Buy! Have Trussville ship a box of them to the site of the tech day.
I don't know about the generic kits. The older ones from Napa were split w/ clamps. They suck. But Autozone usually has OEM type parts. Might be worth looking into. I'll go check.

Is this the boot we're talking about? If so, that's pretty cheap and I believe they've got free shipping on $100 plus orders. Just need 7 Miatas.
Yep, would be wise to change both. That's what I was planning. My tie rod dust boots are in terrible shape.
