  Q: How to replace the steering gear boot on Nissan Armada equipped with rear auto-leveling suspension?

  A:

  On the rear leveling suspension armada models, turn the key of ignition to OFF before raising the car. Loosen wheel lug nuts, lift vehicle front and secure it with jack stands, then remove the wheels. Take off the under-vehicle splash shield. Detach tie-rod end from tie-rod. Remove tie-rod end jam nut. Get rid of outer boot clamp with pliers, then cut away inner boot (big) clamp and discard it. Use pliers to squeeze and pull off the outer clamp on rack and pinion boot; inner clamp has to be cut out. Remove boot. Put new clamp on inside of boot. Coat tie-rod groove (outer side of boot). Push new boot over tie-rod and onto rack and pinion housing. Align it so that it is not twisted and then secure it with the internal clamp. Insert outer clamp and screw in Tie Rod End jam nut. Connect the tie rod end. Check your alignment of front-end and make sure to adjust if needed.
