Subject:Re: Steering boot replacement advice on 85 (resend)

Dave and Sherrie,

I just replaced mine last month.  The manual says to clean and lube the
rack,  I inspected mine and just added some grease.

The tie rod end can stay on if you find a way to mark where the toe-in
adjustment is set.  Just back of the nut a little and undo the tie rod
from the tie-rod end.  Then slide on the boot, and repeat process.  I
marked the rod and then counted the turns I made.  Everything seems fine
in the 2,000+ miles since.
