vanman281 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 The boot to my inner tie rod end broke and know the ball the sits in that inner knuckle is wobbling around. I found someone who has a whole new steering rack but am wondering if I am able to replace that inner boot and knuckle on my 97 legacy gt without having to pull the whole rack and pinion out? TIA!

Lookatmyrust Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 i dont see how you could do it with it in the car so the boot broke and the drit and dust let the ball and socket joint wear out faster? i know you can replace the boot without pulling the rack.

vanman281 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yeah the boot tore, I didn't know for sometime until the wheel started shaking and I found out that's whats causing it! I hope i don't have to replace the whole rack and pinion for this one boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
