Steering rack "rubber" boot
On my 78 SC, it is a hard plastic not rubber. I doesn't seal a thing as it was before I rebuilt the rack and the rack itself has a perfectly shaped funnel to let water into the needle bearing and the rack itself once it easily gets past the boot. When I rebuilt the rack, I used a heavy clear sealant - like plumber's goop - to essentially glue the plastic boot to the rack. Now the water would have to go way up to the top of the boot, into the car and then down the small opening. If this happens, I have alot bigger issues than the steering rack.
