    grease while replacing tie rod boots?

    When I replace the boots, I usually add some ball joint chassis grease to the inner ball joint. Should I also turn the steering wheel completely right and add grease to as many of the rack splines/teeth that i can reach? note these pics are not mine, just pics I found on internet to illustrate.

    Abusive

    Sending me emails that i never signed up for is wrong. Requiring me to sign in with my password to unsubscribe is wrong. Requiring me to sign in a second time to complain is wrong. Having no contact us to communicate efficiently is another thing that i dont support. Bad site!
