Unscrew the lug nuts, lift the car and place it on jackstands, then loosen the lug nuts. Then loosen off the tie-rod end and jam nut. Next remove
Rack And Pinion Boot clamps by sliding the small clamp off the end of the boot and undoing the large clamp; the boot can then be removed. Prior to fitting the new Rack and Pinion Boot, coat the threads and serrations on the end of the steering rod with a piece of tape so as not to damage the small end of the new Rack and Pinion Boot during installation. Install a new inner clamp on the rack and pinion, slide the new Rack and Pinion Boot onto the rack and pinion until it fits into the groove of the steering rod, and install and attach the clamps. When the tape is removed, fit the tie-rod end jam nut and tie-rod end. Lastly, attach the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to the specified value, and ensure alignment is verified by a dealer service department or alignment shop.
