Hey guys

Is there any articles on replacing Steering Rack boots for an EG Civic available only or is there any tips you guys can give me.

I know the general process involved (have done it on Nissans) I.e. mark tie rod end, unbolt tie rod end, unclip boot, clean tie rod, check for play and grease inner tierod, fit new boot + ziptie, refit rack end, etc..

but is there any thing special/different in a Honda (Civic) that I should be aware of?

I noticed on my new (aftermarket) steering rack boots have nipples for air depressurization but I didn't notice any on the stock OEM boots that are currently on the car.

Appreciate any assistance
