Review on Dorman 13566: Universal Tie Rod Dust Boots - (1) 1/2 In. and (1) 9/16 In. - High-Quality Protection for Your Tie Rods! by Wilbert Luoma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than ball joint boot OEM

This boot was purchased for Saturn SL1 external tie rods. This boot is better as it is thicker than the original boot! Dorman's straight, tapered shape is just the right height for a snug fit without the usual extra tall boots that then fold up. Saturn OEM boots fold to the desired size, which puts more stress on the boot due to folding, which has a higher tendency to tear over time. Add some torsional forces that are inevitable when the boot is working with sealing faces that rotate relative to each other when working with the tie rod and I think the Dorman boot will last a lot longer than the OEM due to its shape during of the operation is less burdened. . Service.

Pros
  • Ball joint and tie rod tools
Cons
  • Sad package
