Steering problem
2000 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I need to replace the passenger side inner tie rod on my Taurus. The dealer wants $300 as they need to remove the steering rack. It appears that the iner can be accessed through the wheel well without removing the rack. If I were to do this repair myself, does the new tie rod need to be lubricated in some way before the boot is replaced?
