The Buick Rainier Rack and Pinion Boot seals the ends of the steering rack to keep out road grime, moisture, and grit. This helps prevent early wear and keeps steering feel tight and predictable. The Rack and Pinion Boot is made of durable rubber and has a pleated design that expands and contracts as the wheels turn to keep the grease in place and the dirt out, preventing scoring of the rack teeth and corrosion. The Rack and Pinion Boot has fitted all Rainier models from the first production run to the final model. It works as a dual-purpose dust shield and fluid barrier that supports the long life of the component in a very light package. Although suspension geometry and power-assist systems evolved, Buick stayed with the same basic boot, which displays a ribbed design to enable easy flexing, resist cracking, and operate without extra hardware to keep it in position. In the event of a split or brittle condition of the Rainier along the Rack and Pinion Boot, replacing this small, hose-like guard as soon as possible can prevent a loss of fluid, avoid damage to the expensive steering rack, and keep the road feel that Buick drivers expect. The Rack and Pinion Boot is essential for maintaining optimal performance.
