Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Hey guys, I Own a vt commodore and iv noticed the steering rack boot has SH*T Itself ...
Pictures below..
Should I get a hole new steering rack or just the boot for it ?
And how long can I go driving it like it is.. ?
I'm on a pretty tight budget..

well if ur on a tight budget then just replace the boots, but u do have a leak there. the problem is that the power steering fluid makes the rubber boots brittle and the new ones will eventually bust open again.
As said above, avoid driving it as much as possible, otherwise contaminants will get into the rack and then u will require a whole new one ($500 ish i think)
when u remove the joints on the end, just count the number of threads that r exposed or mark it with a paint pen so that the joint goes back on in the same position. it would be a wise move to have an alignment done anyway, as you cant guarantee how accurate it is.
