Considering how many people have to change out their bellows boots on the FR steering rack, and that it's basically a PITA to pop out both outer tie rods, then unscrew them, try and remember to count the turns because you don't want to have to align the front end, then with the funky custom inner tie rods on ERAs they look like they won't fit through the boot hole anyway, then someone tips you to use a heat gun, then you gotta put it all back together, but you lost one of the cotter pins for one of the castle nuts, then you check your toe-in and you know you miscounted the turns, so you have to realign your toe-in, and all of this could be eliminated if someone would just invent a separable bellows boot that just snapped around it all.
