Nissan Armada Rack and Pinion Boot

The Nissan Armada Rack and Pinion Boot helps protect the steering rack from any contaminants and seals the ends of an assembly. Located above at the rack gear where it attaches to the tie rod, the rubber bellows prevent dirt, moisture, and debris from entering the Armada rack tube and spoiling seals. The Rack and Pinion Boot keeps the environment clean and retains lubricant so that the rack gear can move laterally instead of vertically as the steering wheel turns the vehicle wheels. Should the Rack and Pinion Boot tear or crack, abrasive particles can reach the gear and piston area, leading to fluid leaks, premature inner tie rod joint wear, stiff steering, and potential damage to the gears themselves. A properly fitted Rack and Pinion Boot will help ensure reliable hydraulic power assist operation of your Nissan vehicle's steering system. Designed to match the size of the steering layout of the Nissan Armada, it is manufactured to Nissan's design tolerances to keep the steering mechanism of the Armada protected throughout everyday driving. Conducting regular visual checks of the Rack and Pinion Boot may identify damage before it becomes costly.
