My s14 currently has offset steering rack spacers installed but without dust boots. I'm assuming the stock boots don't fit and I shouldn't be riding without these. Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks!

buy some long/wide universal boots from a motorfactor.

you don't really want to be using it with no dust boots.

Thanks, this is what I was thinking. I was just hoping someone with this setup could tell me what they did/purchased.

TBH I would get rid of the spacers and get the subframe modded to move the rack forward as lots of people over here have bent their steering racks using the offset spacers. that and they have come loose and broke the tangs off the spacers and cracked/spread the end of the rack.

This helps so much, thanks for the info!

For some reason I think I want to say that people use the pathfinder boots, I'm not 100% on that though.
