2016 Toyota Tacoma Rack and Pinion Boots

Keeping your 2016 Toyota Tacoma’s rack and pinion boots in top shape is crucial for smooth steering and overall vehicle performance. These rubber boots protect the inner workings of your steering system, shielding them from dirt, debris, and moisture that can lead to wear and tear. To maintain them, routinely inspect for cracks, tears, or signs of grease leaking, which indicates they may need replacement. If you start noticing odd noises while turning, stiffness in steering, or a feeling of looseness, those could be signs of failing rack and pinion boots. Catching these issues early can save you time and money on more extensive repairs down the line, so give them the attention they deserve!

When tackling the replacement of rack and pinion boots, you’ll want to have a few related products and tools on hand to make the job go smoothly.
