Frequently Asked Questions
What does a rack and pinion bellows kit do?
The bellows, also called a steering rack boot, covers the end of the steering rack where the tie rod exits. It helps keep dirt and water out and lubricant in.
What comes in the Beck/Arnley 103-3062 kit?
The kit includes one one-piece neoprene boot and two clamps for installation.
Is this a split boot?
No. It is a one-piece boot, so the outer tie rod end generally has to come off to fit it. Follow the vehicle service information, and check the alignment afterward.
What are signs a steering rack boot may need replacing?
Signs include a torn, cracked or loose boot, grease on the boot or rack, or dirt at the rack end. If contaminants have reached the rack, inspect the rack as well.
