ok got a question involving my steering rack boots. mine are ripped on both ends so i plan to replace them, maybe this weekend. it looks like there is some grease on the insides of these boots. i asked a couple places about this: acura says put some cv boot grease in there. honda says they are just dust covers with no grease needed and they arent sure why there is grease in there to begin with. team-integra says put wheel bearing grease in there. a guy i work with says just use cv boot grease, wheel bearing grease wont hold up. so, ummmmmmmmm who do i listen to? help ---

As a matter of fact, I don’t even know where you can get CV grease…although I wish I did! ---

uh oh… if you are talking about where the inner tierods are, there should not be grease in there. If you see wetness or signs of leakage, thats bad. Those are mearly dust boots. Don’t put grease in there! ---
