To protect the rubber you can use a thin layer of Shin Etsu grease. Honda has released several service bulletins and they all recommend this to protect rubber and to prevent it from squeaking / lubricate it. From my own experience CRC/WD40 silicone lubricant or maxima SC1 protectant will eventually wash off and won't last more than a year, but Shin Etsu grease will last a lot longer.
Also kindly clean the rubber boot and then spray a healthy dose of Silicone spray in order to nourish the rubber (restore and retain the elasticity) which helps to prevent the cracking of the boot.
What do you recommend to spray on it? Mine is tore up will replace before new tires amd wheel alignment since have to take tire rod off to replace im thinking of a walk around like cut down middle amd hot glue gum to seal or silicone to seal the seanm I cut but ill go the best way amd replace taking tires rod off and replace tires do balance alignment etc...

nice video! Is there any way if that boot stays off can it cause that area to creak? Maybe because its dry? I got a creaking noise when only when i turn from the driver side of the car
If boot is not on its location then , the lubrication will have to face water and dust from outside , which will eventually wear the rack out , so having the boot on is kind of important
After very long time....pls send a link for steering & other greasing parts of storm dicor and cleaning of sensors of it with a cleaner or... Can i use mogsol nano drop spray..it's a lubricates, penetrate, & prevent rust
@@yourDIYneeds yes I've changed the link rods last week along with the arm bushings and steering outer ends.The noise is still there. I've also watched your steering rack preload adjustment video but mine has 14mm nut instead of 19mm and it is rock hard to move it either way.
Sir one last thing is to check the brake caliper puns for play , sometimes they also make clunking noise on potholes , quite common with floting caliper design.
What if the steering used to jerk alot and not it doesn’t move at all? The steering is stuck. It used to only work in warm weather or after being warmed up. It’s electric. Does it need grease or new tie rods? I know one side is missing its boot plus there was clunking noise when the steering used to work. Now the arm won’t turn at all
Seems like the unit is seased so best is to replace it . Means you can try the wd40 way and then lubricate , but be mentally prepared to replace the rack assembly
Metal clamp is there for a reason. It must be like that because in full turn of the wheels the boot is pulled very strong, and plastic zip like in video is too wonky for the job! 70 mm dia should be OK. I had to use 90mm at hand, it got just enough adjustment. With RHD UK car, fixing left wheel, I had to remove the air filter to access with screwdriver when the wheels turned to help compress fixing the boot clamp.
Sir i completely agree , metal clamps are better as they exert more force on the rack body , but there is one more thing to remember that at the end of the rack there is a lifted lip . So if the boot is properly inserted over the rack and the zip tie is installed even with a decent amount of pressure , that boot is not going anywhere .

Bro meri swift 2014 diesel 1lakh 10 thousand done.ab tak 1 baar bhi engine flush nhe hua hai. Kya mai ab engine flush kara sakta. hu koi prob to nhe hogi?
Sir best is to use a high temp. Grease But at the point when i was shooting the video , i did not had a high temp. Grease so i used a normal petrol based lithium grease
@yourDIYneeds bro, in my case i changed the rack as the steering felt heavy and doest auto center after turning. But after rack replacement the steering feels better but definitely not comfortable to drive in city with single hand. I still fell heavy if i had to completely turn left or right. Any suggestions please? I also changed front struts mount bushes and greased them.

Alignment check... Caster is what determines in great part how well the steering returns to center... Camber as well greatly affects steering return.. worth checking... strut bearings also
I would suggest clean the old grease completely first before adding the new grease as 2 different greases are not supposed to be mixed unless you got the same grease as the manufacturer put in before you.
Yes sir , ideally that's the best way to do it , but the older grease had the same appearance as dried up normal petroleum grease usually have , that was the reason why i added on top of it
Then firstly get the alignment check ( alignment consist of toe angles , camber angles and castor angles ) if they are not set correctly , then steering will not behave as it should , it will also feel numb while driving

what kind of the grease should I use on the rack gear? Any brand recommendations? Thanks
Sir any decent brand , just remember high temp grease, due to the proximity of rack to exhaust
Good advice for the zip tie, worked perfectly 😄
Excellent video very well made no bs stuff to the point is this same for Toyota ?
Yes sir , not just for toyota , for every car which have a rack and pinion gear set-up
Can I get a piece of advice on clunking noise over bumps?

My steering is fine but when I turn the car, the steering does not come back to its place
What to do?
Preload is tighter that what it needs to be
You can watch the video of preload adjustment on my channel
Alignment check... Caster is what determines in great part how well the steering returns to center... Camber as well greatly affects steering return.. worth checking... strut bearings also
Sir only if the castor is adjustable , but in this scenario its not , its fixed by manufacturer .
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The car steering should come back to its place but it has to be brought back. The power that the steering should have is not there.
Then firstly get the alignment check ( alignment consist of toe angles , camber angles and castor angles ) if they are not set correctly , then steering will not behave as it should , it will also feel numb while driving
