Audi steering boot adapter

I designed this part to adapt a standard ATV rubber boot on the steering column universal joint of my B9 A5.  This joint is a weak component.

Printing: PLA 15% infill, .4 nozzle, 3 walls, manual supports on the surfaces shown on the pics.

Parts needed:

Universal joint boot kit Kimpex #058703;

O ring 20 x 2mm;

2 x M5 x 25 socket head bolts;

RTV silicon sealant;

Printed parts.

1- Remove the universal joint from the steering rack;

2- Insert the o ring on the column (you may have to cut it);

3- Put some RTV silicon sealant in the o ring groove and the assembly face of the printed parts;

4- Install the printed parts over the o ring an secure them with the bolts;

5- Insert the boot on the steering rack shaft;

6- Put back the universal joint on the shaft;

7- Fill the boot with the supplied grease and slide it over the printed part;

8- Install the supplied straps.

• Note: I made mine in PLA but it's free to use another material.  ABS or ASA would be great too if you have the printer for.
