Tie Rod Joints: Checking Dust Boots
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Porsche Cayenne and 2019 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Information
- The rubber dust boots and bellows on the steering gear and tie rods can be damaged by external influences, e.g. stone impact, or during assembly work.
- If a rubber dust boot leaks, the joint or tie rod must be replaced, because any dirt or moisture that seeps in will destroy the joint.
- Lift the vehicle.
