How do you fix the steering rack arms to stop shooting out goo/greese? or do you have to replace the steering rack arms?

beeboyee

ahah i had the same problem
the best think to do is just replace the whole thing
ohh yea just in advance its called rack and pinion
just in case, cause the people at the junk yard
will bring out a diffrent part out

thanks for yall help

you sure thats not cv joint grease comming from the inner joint of the cv axle? i have never seen a manual or power rack leak like that....

oxSLEEPERxo

yea, it think its the rack and pinion because it is shooting out goo/greese all over the place.

oxSLEEPERxo

Thanks for all the help. However, I got another questions. Is this a urgent matter that needs to be taken care of right away or can it wait 3 months.

Its not urgent if you dont care about your steering rack. The part that ripped is called a bellow boot. Only way to replace those is to remove the tie rod ends. The rod end connects the rack to the steering knuckle.

for the cv boot, i do not know if it is ripped or not. I have to jack up the car and check it to see.

just replaced the same boot today, took about 2 hours (with breaks here and there) and $20 for the boot and clips. the install is really easy and straight foward, unless the rack is damaged just replace the boot

g unit, was yours shooting out greese/goo also?

thanks g unit, I will check today if the cv boot is ripped or anything.

oxSLEEPERxo

i can't tell if it is ripped or not. G unit, how did you check if yours was ripped?

s o h c

i just turned the boot a little and saw a very small slit in it. maybe try squeezing the boot and see if anything comes out

Put a dab of rubber silicone on the hole after you clean it..

That's what I did with my axle boot and I've never had a problem..

oxSLEEPERxo

i will try squeezing it, see if any greese/goo comes out. Thanks nameless ej6, if i do find a rip in it, i will try use the method you used first, if it don't work i just replace it. thanks for responding

DUDE!! THAT LOOKS TOTALLY LIKE THE INNER CV JOINT GREASE THAT's NOT THE STEeRING RACK. you should look it over carefully before changing it.

if the rack and pinion boot is torn then you can just buy the boot at an auto store. If the axle boots are ripped you can either get a new boot and see what happens or you can change the axle. I would check all the boots and make sure its not torn first. If the axle boots are torn, I recommend you replace the whole axle.
