Bearing and engineering solutions specialist, SKF is an Original Equipment (OE) quality supplier of a comprehensive range of steering components, which includes steering column and electric power assist (EPS) bearings, steer-by-wire and steering boot kits. The steering boot range comprises more than 200 kits and covers a wide vehicle parc that includes both European and Asian car models. The range is further complemented by two universal steering boot kits which cover most passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
In line with OE content, SKF steering boots are manufactured from rubber or thermoplastic, depending on the OE specifications. “We only supply specific metal clamps for thermoplastic boots as these are much more durable than the plastic clamps supplied by some manufacturers,” explains Gary Czapski, who heads up SKF South Africa’s automotive division. Czapski points out that SKF boot kits make steering boot replacement quicker and easier as it is simply stretched over the tie rod end without the need for dismantling.
SKF supplies the global passenger and commercial vehicle aftermarket with an all-inclusive premium product and service solution that covers bearings, seals, lubrication and many other critical components for a wide range of applications in engines, electronics, driveline and wheel-end systems.
