Inner Tie Rod Ends, Add Grease?
I am replacing my outer and inner tie rod ends right now, just finished the steering rack bushings. Looking at the first inner, the grease is red/brown rusty. Viewing Timmy’s video, the one he did is the same. I am thinking would it be beneficial to pack some more grease in an attempt to keep water out? Clearly the boots are kess than perfect...

Thoughts?

Inner tie rod ends don't have packed grease in the boots. Sometimes the steering rack fluid leaks into the boots. I just did this and didn't notice any grease or may be I did it wrong.
edit: correction there is grease on the inner tie rod end ball. I just installed proforged ones they came pré greased.

yeah these were pre-greased but not much on the outside, any water that makes it’s way past the boots can get into the ball surface eventually. I left as is
the Toyota engineers know more than I...Toyota parts.
