Removal and Installation
NOTICE: The steering gear boots and clamps are designed to produce an airtight seal and protect the internal components of the steering gear. If the seal is not airtight, the vacuum generated during turning will draw water and contamination into the gear, causing damage. Zip ties do not provide an airtight seal and must not be used.
NOTICE: The inner tie-rod ball joint grease is not compatible with water. Water trapped in the grease will damage the joint.
NOTE:
Right side shown, left side similar.
NOTE:
To prevent the boot from twisting during toe adjustment, apply the specified grease to the groove in the tie rod and uniformly to the inner diameter of the boot.
NOTE:
Make sure the tie rod is clean before installing the boot.
Position the steering gear bellows boot onto the inner tie rod.Install new inner and outer bellows boot clamps.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
