Grease on inner tie rod boot

[Daston]

Hi guys,

I seem to have a load of grease around my inner tie rod boot on the nearside and just wondered if anyone has had something similar? Is it just a case of replacing the boot or does the whole tie rod need doing?

Also I've noticed the car pulling ever so slightly to the left when you come off WOT in a hurry not sure if this could be related.

The boot can be replaced, but I'd double check that's where it's come from first.

You need to wind the tie rod out of the rod end on the upright. The clips can then be removed and the old boot slides off. Refit in reverse order. Think they're around £15 for a new one.
