Keep dirt, moisture, and road debris out of your steering rack with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-2730 — a steering rack boot kit that reseals the rack-and-pinion assembly and helps hold in its lubricant. It's an application-specific replacement for the 1993-1997 and 1999-2003 Volkswagen EuroVan, plus 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. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

  • One-piece neoprene boot: this is a solid boot, not a split boot.
  • Complete installation: includes the boot and two clamps.
  • OE form, fit and function: designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the listed foreign-nameplate applications.
  • Quality construction for durability.

A torn or cracked bellows lets grit and water reach the steering rack and lets grease escape — common signs it may need replacing. If a failed boot is the cause, this kit restores the seal on the applications above.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this kit include?

It includes a one-piece neoprene boot and two clamps for a complete installation. Note that this is not a split boot.

What vehicles does the 103-2730 fit?

It's an application-specific fit for the 1993-1997 and 1999-2003 VW EuroVan and the Volvo 242, 244, 245, 262, 264, and 265 of the model years listed. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.

What does a rack and pinion bellows do?

The bellows boot seals the ends of the steering rack, keeping out dirt, moisture, and debris while helping retain the rack's lubricant.

Is this a split boot for easier installation?

No. This is a one-piece neoprene boot, not a split design, so the tie rod end is typically removed during installation.

How do I know the boot needs replacing?

A cracked, torn, or leaking bellows that lets grease escape or exposes the rack to grit and water is a common sign. If a failed boot is the cause, this kit reseals it.
