Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2701
Keep dirt, moisture, and road grime out of the steering rack with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-2791. This kit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1997 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1990-1995 Volkswagen Corrado, 1993-1999 Volkswagen Golf, 1990-1999 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1990-1997 Volkswagen Passat — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application details. Designed to match OE form, fit, and function, it restores the protective bellows that shields the rack's internal components and inner tie-rod from contamination.
The bellows (or boot) covers the end of the rack-and-pinion assembly to keep grease in and keep dust, water, and debris out. A boot that is torn, cracked, or slinging grease is a common sign it may need replacing; if a failed bellows is the cause of contamination, this kit renews that seal. Inspect the inner tie-rod and rack for damage while the boot is off.

How do I know my boot needs replacing?
