Rubber boot

[snowman]

Just a few quick questions ,is it possible to replace the steering rubber boots by just undoing the nut and disconnecting the track rod ends and pushing the boot over it ,and not disturbing the tracking? next question is what are the best oem boots or euro parts thanks in advance .

If you unscrew the track rods, carefully counting the turns, and return them to exactly the same place afterwards, then the tracking will be undisturbed, but tracking should be checked/adjusted fairly often as a matter of course. It doesn't take much of a knock against a kerb or an unseen pothole to knock it out.
OEM boots will be the best, but ECP ones may be OEM anyway. Carparts4less will almost certainly be cheaper than ECP for exactly the same part.
Why are you changing the boots? If it's because they are leaking, I'm afraid you have bigger troubles than you suspect. There shouldn't be any oil inside the boots to leak, and if there is, the rack seals have failed and a replacement will be required.
