I'm not surprised. After all, seven dollars is a significant amount of
folding green these days.

You aren't capable of comparing the two yourself? You do have old and new
together, do you not?

Hi,

I just ordered and received boots for my steering rack.  However, I ordered two
of the cheaper boot and was planning on re-using the old clamps.  (maybe I just
didn't notice that there were two listed or was just being cheap?  I honestly
can't remember.) Now as I was about install them I did notice that there are two
listed, one for either side.  I called the local dealer and they said the same.
They only had one side in stock so they couldn't really tell me if they were
different.

My question is are the left and right boots actually different?

I decided that I'm going to order the clamps as I am replacing the boots with
the rack still on the car and I may not be able to get the old clamps off in one
piece so I may as well order the other boot - if necessary.

Here's Majestic's picture and list.  The following links will eventually take
you to the same page.  The first one will probably wrap once or twice.

And FWIW:  There has been some discussion in here (a while ago) about power
steering grease - silicone vs. mineral.  My Helm's manual lists the part # as
08733-B070E on page 17-74.  I bought some locally and it has been replaced with
part # 08C35-B0535L.  On the tube it says: A grease made with a low viscosity
mineral oil with high refinement level and with Lithium-type soap.  Then on page
17-80 a silicone grease is specified for the boots.

Thanks,
