Pontiac Vibe Rack and Pinion Boot Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How do you replace a steering gear boot on Pontiac Vibe?
    A: Lose the wheel bolts, lift the car, and prop it on jack-stands before you can remove the wheel. However, next we must take out the tie-rod end, and or the jam nut has to be taken off as well. Slide off the outer rack and pinion boot clamp using a pair of pliers since the ones that hold this component can be easily released as they are of spring-type. Next use the diagonal cutters to cut off the inner boot clamp because the two inner ends of the rack and pinion boots will be held in place by clamps that are going to be useless. Stepping out of the boot first and then before putting the new boot on the end of the rod pull the threads and serrations over with the tape so that they don't damage the small end of the new boot. Place the new boot on the rack and pinion such that it fits into the groove on the steering rod, then insert new clamps. Pull the tape away and then fit in the tie-rod end. Furthermore, fit the wheel and the nuts on the lug, and then drop the vehicle and finally torque the lug nuts.
