NOTICE:
The steering gear boots and clamps are designed to provide
an airtight seal and protect the internal components of the steering
gear. If the seal is not airtight, the vacuum generated during turning
will draw water and contamination into the gear, causing failure of the
steering gear components. Zip ties must not be used as they do not
provide an airtight seal.
NOTICE:
The inner ball joint grease is not compatible with water
contamination. Do not allow water to become trapped in the grease or
degradation and failure of the joint may occur.
