Front end rebuild
I'm in the process of replace all the bushings in my 00 TA. Is it okay to drive afterwards (I know the alignment will be off) to the alignment shop? It's about a 15 mile drive?

Thanks.
On another note, while removing and installing the bolt on the front lca I managed to tear the dust boot on the steering (not exactly sure how to explain it). Now there is a little power steering leaking from there. How do I fix this?
Also on first drive I hear a strange noise from the front driverside tire. Check and it's coming from the brakes. Pull apart and see that one of the boots on the caliper is torn and now the pistons will not line up correctly.
If it aint one thing it's another. Had to rant a little. But seriously how to you fix the dust boot on the steering rods?

Oh well, time for a new rack and pinion. O'reilly's has them for 179.99 after core. My uncle works at a local shop and he told me under $250.00 for install, alignment and flushing the system.
I didn't know I was going to be rebuilding the whole damn front end when this started.
