How do you remove and reinstall the Steering gear boot on Pontiac Grand Prix?

Remove the rack and pinion from the vehicle and then take off the tie-rod ends from the rack and pinion. Next, remove the jam nuts and outer boot clamps, cut off both inner boot clamps and discard them. Mark the location of the breather tube, then remove the boots and the tube. Install a new clamp on the inner end of the boot and apply multi-purpose grease to the tie-rod and the mounting groove on the rack and pinion. Line up the breather tube with the marks made during removal and slide the boot onto the rack and pinion housing, ensuring the boot isn't twisted before tightening the clamp. Install the outer clamps and tie-rod end jam nuts, then install the tie-rod ends and tighten the nuts securely before finally installing the rack and pinion assembly.

Pontiac Grand Prix Rack and Pinion Boot

The Rack and Pinion Boot in Pontiac Grand Prix cars plays a very important part in protecting the steering rack from dust and debris. This is a rubber component which has been designed to fit both the upper and lower sections of the rack to keep off dust or any other debris that might harm the inner structures. If the Rack and Pinion Boot is damaged such as when it develops cracks, it poses a great threat to the rack and pinion system. There are quite probably several variations in the shape and structure of a Rack and Pinion Boot that has been used in different years of Pontiac Grand Prix due to certain differences in wearing resistance or performance ability. The primary function remains consistent: to avoid possible contamination of the steering system so as to keep it as precise as possible.

Each OEM Pontiac Grand Prix 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.
