Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-3153
Seal out the road grit, water, and debris that destroy steering gears with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-2696, a steering rack boot kit that protects the inner tie rod and rack shaft. It's application-specific for the 2003-2006 Subaru Baja, 1980-1989 Subaru DL, 1980-1989 Subaru GL, 1993-1997 Subaru Impreza, 1990-2004 Subaru Legacy, 1990-1994 Subaru Loyale, 2000-2004 Subaru Outback, and 1985-1991 Subaru XT. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
A torn or cracked bellows lets moisture and contaminants reach the rack and inner tie rod, and signs it may need replacing include a split or leaking boot, grease slung around the tie rod, or grit contamination. If a failed boot is the cause, this kit replaces it to restore the seal.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What is included in this kit?
It includes the one-piece neoprene boot and two clamps for complete installation.
Is this a split boot?
No. It is a one-piece molded neoprene boot, not a split-style boot, so it installs as a solid unit over the rack.
What does a rack and pinion bellows do?
It seals the inner tie rod and rack shaft, keeping out moisture, dirt, and debris while holding lubricating grease inside the steering rack.
How do I know my bellows needs replacing?
Signs include a split, cracked, or leaking boot, grease slung around the tie rod, or grit contamination near the rack. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It's application-specific for listed Subaru models including the Baja, DL, GL, Impreza, Legacy, Loyale, Outback, and XT. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
