Steering Rack Rbber Boot.....which other will fit??

[BCSpokerider]

The steering rack boot is torn on the 93 festy. Can`t find one anywhere at the parts dealers.....prolly due to the age of the car. I can get a whole new rack, but that is pretty spendy just for a torn boot.

Is there one from another car that may fit.....even reasonably well? Mazda? Honda? Subaru?

I don't know for sure but I'd guess maybe an early (86-89) mazda 323. I believe they share the same frame width and have similar steering/suspension setups. Also might try searching for them for the Aspire, though if it doesn't show festy likely it won't show aspire either.

Get some universal shock boots from autozone or something....I have lime green on mine!
Edit: Here's some on ebay...

I was thinking of boots for an Assfire.......thanks.
Shock boots might work, good tip!

Was hoping somebody has already discovered a direct fit from another application.

Yes, I order the 1st Gen 323 boots when I rebuild the steering racks. They are about $16 each. Advance can order them for you. You can also purchase them from Rock Auto online.

Napa PN for the 323. A little pricey from Napa, but you can probably use that number at other stores to cross reference and find something cheaper.

I just researched online, and discovered the a Mazdz 323 with power steering, from 89-98 is the same part number as the festy......... Got it on order.

Hope this helps others.
