How to replace a Rack and Pinion Boot on an Acura TL?

Remove the wheel, loosen the lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and support securely on jackstands. Then, remove the tie-rod end and jam nut. Loosen the rack and pinion boot clamps and slide off the boot; the outer clamps like a hose clamp, the inner requires cutting off. Before attempting to install the new boot, wrap the threads on the end of the tie rod with a bit of tape to keep the new boot from damaging the small end of the new boot. Once the new boot is in place, slide the new boot so that each end sits in its groove, and install and tighten the new clamps. And then take the tape off and install the tie-rod end. Then you install the wheel and lug nuts, put the vehicle down, and then fully tighten lug nuts to the specified torque.

Acura TL Rack and Pinion Boot

The Acura TL Rack and Pinion Boot safeguards the steering rack from dirt, moisture, and harmful debris, ensuring smooth and precise control of the wheels. At either end of the rack housing, the Rack and Pinion Boot is made from flexible rubber that separates the pressurized fluid from dirt and allows the rack to move laterally. Every generation of Acura TL that is equipped with hydraulic power steering comes with a Rack and Pinion Boot that secures the inner tie rod joint for responsive steering feel. Get it fixed before it is too late. If a Rack and Pinion Boot tears, grit can enter, seals can wear, fluid can leak, and the assembly can grind or feel stiff, symptoms that might entail an expensive rack replacement if left unattended. The TL models of earlier years applied the same bellows style Rack and Pinion Boot pieces as the later years. As a result, rubber construction and accordion folds are the norm. There has been no switch to plastic or metal. Only the compound quality has improved to ensure longer life. Regular checks of the Acura steering bay can identify cracks early, and replacing a split boot timely preserves pump pressure and keeps the rack gear of the Acura TL steering system working fine.

We provide a broad range of OEM Acura TL Rack and Pinion Boot at unbeatable prices on our website. For your OEM parts, You can count on the guaranteed quality, manufacturer's warranty, outstanding customer service, and prompt delivery. We look forward to your visit.
