1953-1996 C1-C4 Urethane Tie Rod End Boot Set - Pair
Restore steering integrity and seal protection with this urethane tie rod boot pair. Designed as a universal fit for 1953–1996 Corvettes, these boots replace torn or deteriorated original rubber units on either inner or outer tie rod ends. Each boot is molded from durable black urethane for long-lasting flexibility, heat resistance, and oil tolerance—common weak points in OE-style rubber. Whether your car is a C1 survivor or a C4 daily driver, this set ensures steering components remain properly sealed from dirt and moisture.

Installation Notes
Use a tie rod separator or puller to detach the joint from the steering knuckle if fully assembled. Clean joint thoroughly. Lubricate joint and install new urethane boot with gentle pressure—do not overstretch. Confirm full seating in groove or shoulder. Compatible with both driver- and passenger-side ends.
Because Details Matter
A torn or missing tie rod boot is more than cosmetic—it leads directly to joint failure, steering play, and alignment drift. Replace both boots before corrosion or debris compromise your steering components. This urethane pair is the preventative fix your front suspension deserves.
