jkinz Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It seems very difficult to find dust bellows for manual steering rack in 85-87 GL unless I'm not looking in the right places. I had no luck finding a universal bellows and I want to get this done soon so I got a set for power steering and I'm trying to figure out a way to use them on the manual rack. so far I cut some 1-1/2" ABS pipe to fits the grooves in the manual steering rack, cut about 1/8" out of the ring so it will compress to the groove diameter. The only issue is now there is no groove for the bellows to seat in. Ideally I would machine a piece that has a groove, which I may do but also I might just pull the bellows past the ABS ring and use a hose clamp. I wonder if that will be sufficient? and other ideas?

naru Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 You did not look very hard. Try 31232 ga040 on ebay(plenty there) or at the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkinz Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 thanks naru I didn't realize that one would work, when I looked it seemed like the that was the same as the power steering boot but I should have looked harder, it is at parts.subaru.com. Anyway, I also made some adapters today that fit the power steering bellows to the manual rack pretty well. I thought they might be useful but I guess not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
