Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2671
Shield your steering rack from the road with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-2899. This bellows (boot) kit covers the tie-rod end of the rack and pinion assembly, keeping dirt, moisture, and grit away from the inner tie rod and rack seals so the steering can move freely. It drops in as a direct replacement for the 1995 Mazda MX-3, a wide range of Saturn models (SC, SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, SW2), and the Volvo 850, C70, S70, and V70 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full year-by-year list.
A torn or cracked bellows lets contaminants reach the rack, which can lead to grinding, play, or premature wear — replacing a failed boot helps restore that protection. Interchange: 881575 · 271601 · 44053012555 · K9875 · E01832125 · 15108

What does this bellows kit do?
The neoprene boot covers the tie-rod end of the rack and pinion assembly, keeping dirt, moisture, and grit away from the inner tie rod and rack seals so the steering moves freely.
Is this a split boot?
No. This is a one-piece molded neoprene boot, not a split boot, so it slides over the tie rod during installation.
What comes in the kit?
The kit includes the boot and two clamps for a complete installation on one side.
How do I know I need a new bellows?
Signs a bellows may need replacing include a torn, cracked, or split boot; leaking or thrown grease; or contamination reaching the rack. Diagnose the cause before ordering.
Which vehicles does 103-2899 fit?
It fits the 1995 Mazda MX-3, various Saturn SC, SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, and SW2 models, and the Volvo 850, C70, S70, and V70. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
