I am replacing the driver side tie-rod end on my 2003 Element (part number 53541-S7A-003). I received the new one from an online parts dealer, but I can't tell if it came pre-greased. Anyone know if Honda sells these with the grease already under the boot, or do I have to add that myself? It sounds crazy that I wouldn't be able to tell, but you should see how snug that boot is on there! It could easily be under there, and when I slide the boot up the stud, it wipes it clean.
Also, if you have any tips or tricks for doing the replacement, please let me know.
Any help is appreciated
