Its the tie rod end boot to help keep grease in. Yours looks to be torn.
So I should change it
Is it something easy to do or?
It's not critical to replace the boot, just give that joint occasional shots of grease.
I think I will do this. Thanks mate.
Be aware, very aware that it is very common to hit the brakes hard, compress the front suspension and then have grease from those grease boots get squirted onto the brake rotor. That will cause a very hard pull to one side and while it fixes itself in short order after a few more stops, I would not want other vehicles beside me at speed when that happens.
