Steering gear boots

[pathy1217]

Can the steering gear boots be replaced on the tie rods of a 97 pathfinder?? (Not really sure what the boot is called)

i think they call them tie rod boots, and i know they sell them seperately so imagine they can be replaced

[pathy1217]

So you have never heard of someone replacing them?

How would you replace them? Theres no way to slip it on or off with the tie rod installed

(my car doesnt have these, im just saying)

Might aswell replace the tie rods while youre at it, cant be more than a few dollars extra for the entire rod (I think mine were $45 for a pair)
