In this video we show how to change the front inner tie rod and rack and pinion bellow/boot on a 2010-2016 Buick Lacrosse. In addition, we explain how to use an inner tie rode removal tool to make sure you don’t damage the steering rack and pinion during removal. This process is the nearly identical (just different part numbers) for various other GM vehicles including: Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse, Impala, Equinox, and Malibu, Cadillac XTS, SRX, XT5 and XT6, and GMC Acadia and Terrain.
