WHY OEM OVER A UNIVERSAL BOOT
- Correct bellows length and diameter — seats on the joint and the shaft without stretching or pinching
- Honda rubber holds up to heat, mud and UV far longer than generic neoprene
- Retains the OEM circlip and snap ring so the joint stays properly located
- No cutting, no adapter cones, no "fits most" compromise
INSTALL NOTES
- Order 2 if you're doing both front corners
- Front knuckle removal required — have a ball joint separator, snap ring pliers and a band clamp tool on hand
- Clean the joint completely and inspect for pitting before repacking with the supplied grease
- Check the inner (inboard) boot at the same time; they usually fail as a pair
- Torque knuckle and ball joint fasteners to Honda service spec
- Honda service manual recommended for your specific model year

Q: Is this one boot or two?
One boot set. Each set does a single front joint — order two if you're replacing both sides.
Q: Will this fit my 2004 Rancher 350 ES?
Yes, TRX350FE 2000–2006 uses this boot on the front. Send us your full model code if you want it double-checked.
Q: Is 42240-HN5-N01 the same part?
Yes. Honda superseded the -N00 to the -N01. They are interchangeable; you get whichever revision is current.
Q: Can I install this without removing the knuckle?
No. Plan on pulling the knuckle and having snap ring pliers plus a band clamp crimper.
