pop the ball joint back into the socket of the rack and pinion? (the part that is covered by the rubber dust boot) my car got hit in the tire pretty hard and it popped out. also would it be ok to drive after it was popped back in? i really dont want to have to buy and install a new rack and pinion...i just got a new one, there was less than 3000 miles on it. thanx for any help
