Rack & Pinion Boot Fitting Instructions

The Rack & Pinion Boot Kit includes an installation cone that allows for the replacement of the boot without removing the tie rod end.

Realignment of the vehicle is not necessary after installation.

1- Remove the outer tie rod retaining nut and detach from spindle

2- Remove the old boot and clean the assembly

3- Cut the boot to the next diameter smaller than the steering rack body

4- Position the installation cone over the tie rod end threads

5- Lubricate the inside of the boot and cone

6- For easier installation, roll the boot back on itself, push it on the rack, and then push the rolled part onto the rack

7- Make sure to position the vent downwards so that any moisture drains out

8- Install tie straps and grease fittings. Reinstall the tie rod end and tighten the ball joint retaining nut to manufacturers specs.

Note : The rack & pinion boot can also be installed in the traditional way by separating the outer tie rod from the inner tie rod.

This method might necessitate a wheel alignment.
