If your boots are ripped open and it looks like a dirty mess there, than replacing them wouldn't be a horrible idea. Rockauto.com has new outter tie rod ends for $5 each for 2G's. At that price why not just replace them.

Also, not sure exactly how 2G steering racks are mounted, but if they have stock rubber bushings, might take a look at those and see if they are damaged, causing some excess slop. If so, some new bushings might also make quite a difference. I just put poly bushings in my SC300 and they made a huge difference as my old oem rubber ones were shot.

Have you seen if the steering rack boots are torn at all also?
