Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-3143
Keep road grime, moisture, and debris out of your steering gear with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit (MPN 103-2738, also written 1032738). This left-side boot kit seals the rack and pinion assembly, shielding the inner tie rod and rack shaft while helping retain the steering lubricant. It's an application-specific fit for the 1975-1984 Volkswagen Rabbit, 1975-1988 Volkswagen Scirocco, 1977-1982 and 1987-1988 Porsche 924, 1982-1992 Volkswagen Jetta, 1983-1991 Porsche 944, 1985-1989 Volkswagen Cabriolet, 1985-1992 Volkswagen Golf, and 1992-1995 Porsche 968 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
A torn or cracked bellows lets in contaminants and lets lubricant escape, which can accelerate wear on the rack and inner tie rod. If your left-side boot is split or leaking, this kit replaces it. Sold as a single-side kit; inspect the opposite side and replace as needed.
