so after checking ball joints and tie rod ends it needed a ball joint and a tie rod end decided to put in new a arms by the way this is my gxp so anyway once it was all apart i noticed it needed a rack and pinion bellows so back to Napa and picked-up a bellows well after hours of trying to install the new bellows i find out that the gxp rack and pinion is slightly larger im sure you know that with the 5.3 v-8 sitting in the engine bay there's no room for your hand any way it was a struggle but finally got it on just info for others car was taken for wheel alignment and is good as new only 107000 kilometers approx. 70000 miles
 


I had trouble getting my bellows boot on.
Ended up soaking the bellows in almost boiling water for about 10 minutes and stretching it over a bottle overnight it let it expand enough to go on relatively easily.
