rack and pinion question

[WadadliX]

How much of a problem will a torn dust boot on a rack and pinion cause?

[cacasplat3]

the torn boot will allow dust and eventually cause it to go bad. happened to the cefiro, was just lucky to detect it b4 anything else happened. on ah u will have to camber and alinge after,i think

Thanks...the dust boot can be changed by itself with changing any other components?

^^^ yup once yuh changing it b4 much dust get in there

dust in there can damage your steering rack end (knuckle joint)

if a lot gets in it can damage your power steering mechanisms

i change mine at laughlin and degannes cuz i didnt have time to change it myself, so i'm not too sure about the process.
