Hello, fellow Explorers!
Posting some pictures hoping to get some answers. Saw this rust-orange liquid gush out of the passenger inner tie rod boots during replacement. Wasn't a lot, only noticed small drop in PS fluid in the reservoir. There wasn't any noise nor any steering issues. Mechanic at a shop said there was too much play on it during inspection.
I drove through few feet of water some months back during a storm, and since I've lost that connector thing which runs from one boot to the next one, I'm considering water got in and accumulated there.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
