Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2701
Keep your steering rack sealed against grit and moisture with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-2905, a left-side steering rack boot kit that shields the inner tie rod and rack from road debris, water, and contamination. It installs as an application-specific replacement for a wide range of vehicles, including the 2001-2006 Acura MDX, 2003-2008 Honda Pilot, 2001-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2004-2013 Mazda 3, 2007-2012 Nissan Sentra, 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, and many Lexus GS, IS, RC, LS, and RX models — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engines.
A cracked, torn, or oil-soaked bellows lets dirt and water reach the rack and inner tie rod, so replacing a failed boot on the left side helps protect those components. This kit covers the left position; confirm your application in the Buyer's Guide before ordering.
What does this bellows kit do?
It seals the left side of the steering rack, protecting the rack and inner tie rod from dirt, water, and road debris that can cause premature wear.
What comes in the kit?
It includes a one-piece neoprene boot plus two clamps for a complete installation. Note this is not a split boot.
Is this a split boot?
No. It is a one-piece neoprene boot that slides over the rack end, providing a continuous seal rather than a split, wrap-around design.
Which side does this fit?
This kit is for the left position. Confirm your vehicle and side using the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.
When should the rack bellows be replaced?
Signs it may need replacing include a cracked, torn, or oil-soaked boot, or grease slung around the rack area. Replacing a failed boot helps keep contaminants out.
