I managed to get both boots installed thanx to the help of the members of this list, (once again). The floor jack did the trick to get the nut on and, after spinning around the block, it doesn't seem out of alignment. I'm going to take it on the freeway tomorrow and try it out. Thanx again to all who responded to my cries for help! Johnny 5518 > Johnny - Make sure the tapered shaft of the tie rod is sqeaky clean. > Do the same for the bore of the steering knuckle.
