that looks like the boot to the rack and pinion. is it leaking power steering fluid?

 

no there isnt any leakage of fluid i think its the boot to the outer tie rod but not sure theres also i clicking sound when going straight and turning not sure what that is??

 

the picture is at an odd angle but it looks like that the boot to the INNER tie rod end. The clicking sound going str8 and turning could be the cv shafts (axles). When the joints are defective they will make a clicking sound

 

This, but not necessarily when the axle's are defective, but when they are worn out.

 

well im replaceing the boot on the rod im thinking the noise is coming from that also sould i replace the rod or not

 

Yes replace the tie rod. If it is clicking (which is possible) it was due to the boot breaking and letting all the grease go.

 

both rods inner and outter?

 

I would do both for piece of mind. Might as well since you will have it mostly appart any way. If one went bad, the other will fail sooner or later.

 

so i got both rods on each side and the boots to replace??

should i buy the driveshaft with the outter tie rods??

 

Ok, start with inner and outer tie rods. If you still hear the clicking then it is an axle.

What is the year and model of your integra. I'll give you the honda part numbers that you need.

 

2000 integra gs 2 door

53560-S04-013

Start with those. I'm not positive on the numbers for the inner rods, I dont want to give you bad info. Just tell the guy/girl at the parts counter that you also need inner tie rods for the left and right side. The above numbers are for left and right outer tie rods.

 

thank u so much for ur help

do u think the inner tie rods are alright?

also are the inner tie rods the same for both sides??

 

Honestly I dont want to say with out being there to look at them. It gets to a certain point where you cant really go any farther with a diagnosis over the internet.

As far as the inner tie rods being the same...honestly I'm not sure. You can ask the dealer if the part numbers are the same for the left and right side inner tie rods. Thats my advice on that.

Always happy to help. Good luck with everything. Post back when you have more questions, I'm sure most of us will try to help you out as much as we can.

 

thanks for all ur help man im replacing the drivers side axle in the morn gonna call acura tom if i dont find if theres a difference in both side on the inner rods still researching everything and obtaining knowledge as i go not to hard of a project just a pita and it sucks to do but it happens

also another thing i was thinking about maybe something on the inside of the boot leaked causing it to break down gonna check the ps fluid in the morn to see hopefully none of the pipes on the rod broke ill find out tommorrow morning

thanks again bro

 

i replace the dr side axle that was the cause of the noice but i forgot to call acura damn it

 

I kinda figured the axle was causing the clicking.
