A: Loosen the lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack- stands. Remove the wheel. Remove the tie-rod end and jam nut. Remove the rack and pinion boot clamps and slide the boot off. Before installing the new boot, wrap the threads and serrations on the end of the steering rod with a layer of tape so the small end of the new boot isn't damaged. Slide the new boot into position on the rack and pinion until it seats in the groove in the steering rod and install new clamps. Remove the tape and install the tie-rod end. Install the wheel and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts.
