- First, when replacing the CHERY steering gear rack boot (OE# 201000008AA) on TIGGO models, ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and the steering wheel is centered. This helps in accurate installation.

- Then, lubricate the new steering gear rack boot (OE# 201000008AA) with a suitable lubricant. This makes it easier to slide the boot into place and reduces friction.
- After that, align the new boot properly with the steering gear rack. Make sure it fits snugly to prevent water and debris from getting in. Use the correct tools to secure the boot clamps tightly.
- Finally, check the steering system for proper operation after installing the new boot. Turn the steering wheel a few times to ensure smooth movement and that the boot doesn't interfere with other components.
