[QUOTE="blert, post: 1041291, member: 64702"] Could not find any good pics of the steering rack area so went shopping and looked at some pics of units that have inner tie rods and boots installed. It looks like it is the tube that sticks in a little hole on each boot. Has not been hooked up for a long time as both ends were clogged with crud. Blasted some brake cleaner through it. Found the holes on each boot. Now to figure out how to lay this thing in and hook it up. What does it do? The driver's side boot is loose at the inner zip tie. Is it OK to clean this area up and install a new zip tie? Should I consider new inner tie rods because the boot is so loose that there could be a large amount of crap up inside there? Or, can I carefully pull that boot up and spray a crap ton of cleaner and reseat the boot? Does inside there need to be greased? [/QUOTE]
