How do you replace a steering gear boot on Dodge Challenger?

Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands before removing the wheel. Next, remove the tie-rod end and jam nut. Then, take off the rack and pinion boot clamps and slide the boot off, ensuring to remove both clamps; the easiest method for removing the old clamps is to shear off their crimped section with side cutters. Check for the presence of power steering fluid in the boot; a substantial amount indicates leaking steering gear seals, necessitating replacement with a new or rebuilt unit. Before installing the new boot, wrap the threads and serrations on the end of the steering rod with tape to prevent damage to the small end of the new boot. Slide the new boot into position on the steering gear until it seats in the grooves, then install new clamps. Remove the tape and install the tie-rod end. Finally, install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque, followed by checking and adjusting the front end alignment if necessary.
