How to replace Rack and Pinion Boot on Cadillac Escalade?

This procedure applies only to models with rack-and-pinion steering. Begin by loosening the wheel lug nuts, raising the vehicle, and securely supporting it on jackstands before removing the wheels. Next, detach the tie-rod ends from the tie-rods and remove the tie-rod end locknuts. Use pliers to remove the outer boot clamps, then cut off the inner boot clamps and discard them; the outer clamp on the rack and pinion boot can be squeezed off, while the inner clamp must be cut. Mark the location of the breather tube, if used, in relation to the rack assembly, then remove the boots and the tube. Before installing new boots, apply some grease to the exposed ends of the toothed rack. Install a new clamp on the inner end of the boot and apply multi-purpose grease to the groove on the tie-rod and the mounting grooves on the steering gear. Align the breather tube with the marks made during removal, if applicable, and slide the new boot onto the steering gear housing, ensuring it isn't twisted before tightening the new inner clamp. Finally, install the outer clamps and tie-rod end locknuts, reattach the tie-rod ends, and have the front end alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.

Cadillac Escalade Rack and Pinion Boot

Cadillac Escalade vehicles' Rack and Pinion Boot plays a particular part of protecting the steering rack from dust and germ. One of these rubber components fits onto the top end on the rack and the other fits at the other end in order to protect the inside of the rack by keeping off dust and other debris from coming into contact with the internal parts of the system. If the Rack and Pinion Boot is damaged or developed cracks, then there will be a menace to the safety of the rack and pinion system and may fail. Perhaps throughout the years some Cadillac Escalade models adopted distinct styles of Rack and Pinion Boot, however, changes are not specified. The primary function remains consistent across these types: to protect the integrity of the steering system so that it is free of contaminants as well. It has also identified the Rack and Pinion Boot as an important component in the Cadillac Escalade that needs to be maintained properly so that the efficiency and durability of the car's steering mechanism could be regulated in the optimal way.

Each OEM Cadillac Escalade Rack and Pinion Boot we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.
