How do you properly replace a steering gear boot on Chevrolet Corvette?

Loose the lug nuts, lift the car and put it on supporting jack stands before going ahead to remove the wheel. Then, there are steps that require the removal of the tie-rod end and the jam nut to be taken. The outer boot clamp can be unscrewed with the help of pliers since it is clipped on but the inner clamp has to be unbolted using diagonal cutters and later thrown away. Slide off the boot, then cover the threads and serrations at the end of the tie rod in the way that the small end of the new boot will not be damaged during the process of its installation. Insert the new boot to lay flat on the rack and pinion boot until it fits the groove of the tie-rod then tightening the clamps. Once the tape has been removed then the tie-rod end has to be fitted, then the wheel and the lug nuts are fitted. Last but not the least, turn the vehicle down and snug the lugs to the required torque.

Chevrolet Corvette Rack and Pinion Boot

The Rack and Pinion Boot is important in many Chevrolet Corvette autos since they help protect the steering rack from dirt and any other unwanted material. This rubber part creates a barrier at the two ends of the rack where the interior working of the rack is shielded from dust and other debris. In the long run the Chevrolet Corvette Rack and Pinion Boot can wear out or develop cracks and this greatly exposes the rack and pinion of the car and might fail. However, it appeared that the crude configuration of the Rack and Pinion Boot has no significant variation between Corvette models, and the possible differences that exist might have been made to develop the strengths of the Boot through new materials or kind of establishment.

Each OEM Chevrolet Corvette Rack and Pinion Boot we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
