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 "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications and engines.
- One-piece neoprene boot: this is not a split boot, giving a continuous barrier over the rack end.
- Complete kit: includes the boot and two clamps for installation.
- OE form, fit, and function: engineered to match the original equipment part on the listed foreign-nameplate applications.
- Quality construction: built for durability and specified for this vehicle.
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 "Vehicles it fits" section before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions

Which side does this fit?
This kit is for the left position. Confirm your vehicle and side using the "Vehicles it fits" section before ordering.
When should the rack bellows be replaced?
