Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2730
Keep dirt, water, and road grit out of your steering gear with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-2906. This steering rack boot kit shields the inner tie rod and rack ends from contamination, helping preserve the grease and moving parts inside the rack and pinion assembly. It's an application-specific fit for a wide range of foreign nameplates, including the 2014-2020 Acura RLX, 2000-2009 Honda S2000, 2016-2023 BMW 740I, and 2012-2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Acura, and Honda applications.
A cracked or torn bellows lets abrasive debris and moisture reach the rack's internal components, which can accelerate steering wear over time. If a damaged boot is what's letting contaminants in, this kit replaces it to restore that protective barrier. Engineered as a direct replacement for OE applications across foreign nameplates.
