Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-3153
Seal out grit and moisture and protect your steering gear with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-3082 (also written 1033082). This steering rack boot kit is application specific for a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models, dropping in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 CL500, 2003-2006 S430, 2007-2012 GL450, 2006-2012 R350, 2005-2011 SL65 AMG and many more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 24 applications.
The bellows (boot) covers the inner tie rod and rack end, keeping out dirt, water and road debris while letting the tie rod move as you steer. A torn, cracked or missing boot lets contaminants reach the rack and inner tie rod, which is a common reason to replace it.
Beck/Arnley parts are designed as direct replacements for Original Equipment applications across foreign nameplates, with attention to form, fit and function.
