Keep road grime, moisture, and grit out of your steering rack with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-2902. This steering rack boot kit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 2001-2009 Mazda B2300, 1998-2001 Mazda B2500, 1998-2007 Mazda B3000, and 1998-2008 Mazda B4000 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
The bellows (boot) shields the inner tie rod and rack gear from contamination while allowing the rack shaft to move as you steer. A torn or cracked boot lets in water and debris, which is a common reason to replace it.
