Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2701
Keep road grime, moisture, and debris out of your steering rack with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit (P/N 103-2881). This one-piece neoprene boot flexes over the rack shaft to shield the inner tie rod and rack seals as the steering moves, helping protect the assembly from contamination that leads to premature wear. It's cataloged for the left or right side and installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 Mazda MPV, 1999-2004 Suzuki Vitara, 1993-1998 Toyota T100, and 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
If a cracked, torn, or leaking rack boot has left your steering rack exposed, this kit replaces it. Signs it may need replacing include a split or brittle boot, grease slung around the rack, or dirt and moisture reaching the inner tie rod.
