Hi.

My boot is gone..

I thought that's tie rod boot, but it looks like CV boot.

So I figure that is rack and pinion boot.

Yeah.. so it's torn out and all the oil spilled.

So, here are my questions.

Have you guys driven FF car with torn out CV boot?

My S14 is like that...If I just fix the rack and pinion boot, will it be OK?

I don't wanna take bitch-ass tie rod out.. I think I can just slide in the boot.

Am I right?

Also, what kind of grease should I put in the boot?

Somehow, I see oil, not grease in the torn boot.

Thank you.
