Today I replaced the steering rack boots and end boots for my brother's SUBARU. His car is a small car called VIVIO. Although it only has a displacement of 660cc, it is called a famous car in Japan because of its success in rallies. I don't think it was sold overseas, so it may not be well known.

I get a used gearbox before removing it and examining it to see if it was repairable using general oil seal.
His steering gearbox needs repair due to an oil leak, but the genuine repair kit is no longer available for '98 manufactured car. Fortunately, I was able to obtain a used gearbox in good condition. There are no oil leaks on the rack, and there are no loose tie rods or ends.
You can get new boots from a famous 3rd party boot (rubber) manufacturer in Japan at a much lower price than genuine boots. This car sold so much more than the SVX that there are plenty of alternative parts.
