Version 2.0
GENERAL NOTES:

These instructions are also available on our website; www.synergymfg.com. Check the website before
you begin for any updated instructions and additional photos for your reference.

This part is designed to be used exclusively for Synergy HD tie rod ends. It can be used on other brand
tie rod ends with modification; however the instructions below cover installation on Synergy ends.

Installation on Moog, or other similar tie rod ends can be done by cutting off the “snap fit” portion of the
bushing.

**Note** this dust boot is designed to hold tie rod ends in a “neutral” state. Installing this tie rod end
dust boot in an application where they are generally misaligned will cause premature wear and failure.
These are designed for use on tie rods only; these are not for use in draglink assemblies or other
applications where significant misalignment is seen.

**DISCLAIMER** Check fit to ensure tie rod end taper engagement is not hindered by this part. Taper
depths vary from vehicle to vehicle and it is critical for tie rod end taper to be fully engaged in knuckle.
Some applications will require 413402-02 Washer Cap to not be installed.
