How to replace a torn steering gear boot?

If the rack and pinion boot is torn, it should be replaced to prevent dirt and moisture from damaging the steering gear. To do this, start by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the vehicle securely on jack stands. Then, remove the front wheels. Next, remove the tie-rod end and locknut. Slide the boot off the tie-rod. To complete the installation, reverse the removal steps and make sure to use new clamps on the boot.
