Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2730
Keep road grime, water, and grit out of your steering gear with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit (P/N 103-2729). This right-side steering rack boot kit is application-specific for the listed classic Volvos, sliding over the rack shaft to shield the inner tie rod and rack from contamination that leads to premature wear. It fits the 1975-1984 Volvo 242, 1975-1988 Volvo 244, 1975-1988 Volvo 245, 1976 and 1978-1981 Volvo 262, 1976-1981 Volvo 264, and 1976-1981 Volvo 265.
A torn or cracked bellows lets dirt and moisture reach the rack and inner tie rod. If a failed boot is the cause of steering-rack contamination or a fresh weep of grease, this right-side kit replaces it. Install on the right side per your vehicle's service procedure.
