Hello Group:
Can anyone point me in the correct direction to tackle this job of replacing my 2 PS rack boots
on my 1985 Vanagon....send my link to prior article, answer my ?'s below, etc.:
-I had trouble installing said PS boots years ago....never did fit into that grove on rack easily?
-I did not know correct way of attaching boot to (1) rack itself (grove) and (2) steering linkage rod.
-What material use to clean area with B4 installing boots
-What type greese (CV or otherwise) to use "behind" these boots....
-Best clamping system as mentioned above.....hose clamps (one or both ends ) or no clamps?
-Best method to get to this area (remove tie rod, install boot, re-install tie rod by counting threads, etc. was my method....)
*I remember seeing a company that was advertising a "complete kit" for replacing older Vanagon PS rusty lines for approx. $100, pre-formed to fit!
Can anyone point me to this information as well.
Thank you for your inputs...this group ( as a whole) knows enough to keep even my Vanagon on the road!
Thanks
Larry
