cracked, or damaged in any way, replacement is
necessary.

1. Inspect the tie rod ends for damaged threads, torn

boots, or excessive wear.

2. Inspect the tie rods for bends or deformation.

3. Inspect the rack and pinion-to-tie rod boots for tears

or deterioration.

PR785

4. Check boot clamps for security.

5. Check that the steering assembly operates smoothly

with no binding from full-left to full-right position.

6. Inspect for grease seepage from the steering assem-
