Seal out road grit, water, and debris with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-2911, a direct-fit steering rack boot kit for a range of Audi and Volkswagen models. It fits the 1998-2005 Audi A4, 1999-2005 Audi A4 Quattro, 1998-2004 Audi A6, 1999-2004 Audi A6 Quattro, 2000-2003 Audi A8 Quattro, 2001-2005 Audi Allroad Quattro, 2003 Audi RS6, 2000-2002 Audi S4, 2002-2003 Audi S6, 2001-2003 Audi S8, and 2000-2005 Volkswagen Passat. It is cataloged for left or right, inner or outer positions depending on the application.
The bellows boot covers the end of the rack-and-pinion assembly, helping shield the inner tie rod and rack from contamination while retaining lubricant. Cracked, torn, or leaking boots are signs this part may need replacing. If a failed steering rack boot is the cause of your leak or contamination, this kit replaces it.
