Steering rack boot deflating too much?


eZ_Harry

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Just installed a new steering boot onto a V7 STi. Before re-installing the outer tie rod, I thought I'd check the boot was working properly, so I turned the wheel to full lock both ways. I've noticed that the boot seems to deflate (collapse in on itself) a bit more than I feel comfortable with. At full extension the top part of the boot collapses in with a big dent. Should there be some sort of breather port which prevents this from happening, or is it normal? 

 

I feel like it would rip the boot if I left it like that for too long

 

Cheers

The whole point is they are sealed and baloon in and out like bellows .... 

 

 

You need to think less

 

Sure... lengthwise they should move like a bellow. But do you also expect movement width wise? I've read that some steering racks provide air to the boots for exactly this reason

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
