Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2897
Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2897
$21.99

Seal out road grit and keep your steering rack lubricated with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit (P/N 103-2897). This steering rack boot kit is designed as a direct-fit replacement for the right-side bellows on the 1994-1998 Audi Cabriolet, 2001-2009 Ford Escape, 2001-2006 and 2008-2009 Mazda Tribute, 2005-2009 Mercury Mariner, and 1995-2000 Mercury Mystique. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list.

  • One-piece neoprene boot: this is not a split boot, so it wraps the rack shaft in a single unit.
  • Complete installation: includes the boot and two clamps needed to mount it.
  • Matches OE form, fit and function: application-specific to this vehicle for a confident replacement.
  • Quality construction for durability.

The bellows boot protects the inner tie rod and rack teeth from dirt, water, and debris while retaining the grease inside. A torn or cracked boot lets contaminants in and lubricant out; if a failed right-side boot is the cause, this kit replaces it. Beck/Arnley parts are built to match Original Equipment applications across foreign nameplates, with attention to form, fit, and function.

What are signs the rack boot needs replacing?

Cracks, tears, or splits in the bellows that let dirt and water in and grease out. Diagnose the cause before replacing, and inspect the rack for damage.
