Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2677
Shield your steering gear from road grime, water, and grit with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-2904, a steering rack boot kit that seals the right (right outer) side of the rack-and-pinion assembly. The flexible bellows keeps dirt and moisture off the inner tie rod and rack teeth while holding lubricant in — a cracked or torn boot lets contaminants in and can lead to accelerated wear. It's an application-specific replacement for a wide range of Audi, BMW, and Volkswagen models, including the 1998-2001 Audi A4 and A4 Quattro, 1998-2004 Audi A6, 2004-2006 BMW 525I, 2002-2005 BMW 745I and 745LI, 2000-2006 BMW X5, and 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered vehicles and engines.
Beck/Arnley focuses on foreign-nameplate coverage with attention to form, fit, and function so you can install the right part with confidence.
