Tie rod end - boot replacement?
While doing the front brakes, I noticed that the near-side tie rod end boot had a small split in it. It is possible to replace the boot (DIY with simple tools) without replacing the whole tie rod end? I want to avoid having to do the tracking again... which I guess I would need to do if replacing whole tie rod end. Thanks

I don't think you can get the boot as the track rod ends are not expensive *
In theory, if you get the same brand of track rod end, you can count the turns when you remove it and put the new one on the same number of turns. The alignment should then be the same as before * unless you get from Volvo. Just had my service and timing belt done and they said I need a new drivers side track rod end. Their quote - £441!!!

Yikes, was that £441 just for the track rod end!
I guessed as much. Looks like I'll be replacing the track rod end. Have people had success getting the old one out with using a special puller? Trying to avoid having to buy more tools.

Also had timing belt and service at local dealer recently and the split boot was mentioned. I didn't ask the price and now glad I didn't!

Their pricing is just weird. They also quoted over £400 for the aux belt but the replacement mirror indicator was £129 and ultimately covered by warranty

New one with five year warranty, just over £22, delivered. Used a standard puller to remove the knuckle from the hub and backed the locknut off one half turn..marked the thread position and unscrewed the tre and replaced with a complete new one. Screwed back up to position and locked the nut up. |

Don’t you just undo the big nut on top of the track rod end, put the nut back on and tap it with a hammer so threads don’t get damaged, then undo the locknut and screw the track rod off? I don’t see why the knuckle needs to be separated from the hub either. Seems like a lot of work, unless these newer models are designed completely different to old.
