And your question is...?

Found that pest of a question mark.
Well, the part numbers are different for the inner and outer boots, so I would assume the ID's would be different.

Sorry for the sarcasm. Post deleted. There are no inner or outer boots, just left and right. The part number is 1J0422831B. Just did a tie rod job on our '01 Golf...

Pops right on. Don't fully tighten the outer clamps until AFTER you have the alignment done because the boots should not be twisted during the toe adjustment. Let your alignment shop know so they can do the final crimp of the clamps when they're done.

Here a few pics when I replaced the Left Tie Rod on my 2000 Jetta
As can been observed, apparently water got in some how ....... but, I could not find a hole in the boot after a lot of inspecting ... thus, just reused it. As I recall, the procedure was fairly easy. Seems I used a rather heavy zip tie to secure it.

They need some force. Use zip ties, tighten the inner one then do the outer one after the alignment.

Why use zip ties when the proper clamps are so cheap and easy to install?

Probably because you need special pliers to get the correct metal band clamps tight.

Zip ties work and are quick and easy.

So that's $9 that you probably won't use again. That's a nice steak dinner.Uh, yes, and they cost me all of $8.99 at my FLAPS...

I've had them in my tool chest for probably 25+ years and have used them on many cars for both steering racks and CV joints.So that's $9 that you probably won't use again. That's a nice steak dinner.
And please let me know where you can get "a nice steak dinner" for $9.00. I want to be sure to avoid that restaurant.

No worries - it is only a 2oz.-of-scraps steak....And please let me know where you can get "a nice steak dinner" for $9.00. I want to be sure to avoid that restaurant.
Then again, if you buy your own steak at the grocery store, you can do quite well for a $9.00 steak dinner!Cheers,

Your first sentence would never pass as a question on Jeopardy.
It is a declaration of "wondering".
Please laugh with me.
