You should not need to order parts more than once. It is a relatively

In my rack boot kit, there is a boot, a big clamp, a little clamp, and a huge
o-ring. I thought the o-ring was to go under the big end of the boot, but it's
bigger than the boot. Is the o-ring only used when you replace the left boot, or
what do I do with it?
Anybody have a .pdf handy?

Methinks I've got the wrong boot kit, or maybe the car has the 2001-2003 rack in
it and the 1999 boot won't fit.
The boot looks like it was made for a smaller diameter tie rod, and there's no
way the small clamp can be installed. it might be possible to intall the big
clamp if I separate it to

They pay peanuts. Scrap cost for the metal only. They sell plastic parts as
profits and then they are charging core fee on metal parts. If you want a hood
or door, you have to pay core, and then return with the dead part. They retain
full scrap weight and no loss of value. This is new.
