Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-3073
Keep road grime, water, and grit out of your steering rack with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-3085. This steering rack boot kit is an application-specific direct replacement for a wide range of foreign-nameplate vehicles, including the 2017-2020 Audi A4, 2018-2025 Audi S4 and S5, 2012-2016 BMW 328i, 2019-2022 BMW Z4, 2011-2017 Lexus CT200h, 2019-2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500, 2020-2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE350, 2008-2015 Scion xB, and 2010-2015 Toyota Prius. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered models and years.
The bellows (boot) seals the inner tie-rod end of the rack against contamination; a cracked or torn boot lets dirt and moisture reach the rack, 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.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this bellows kit do?
The neoprene boot seals the inner end of the rack and pinion assembly, keeping dirt, water, and grit away from the inner tie-rod and rack while allowing the steering to move.
Is this a split boot?
No. This is a one-piece neoprene boot, not a split boot, so it slides over the tie rod during installation.
What's included in the kit?
The kit includes the boot and two clamps for a complete installation on the listed applications.
How do I know it fits my vehicle?
It is application specific for the listed vehicles, including select Audi, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Scion, and Toyota models. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your year and model.
When should I replace the rack bellows?
Signs it may need replacing include a cracked, torn, or leaking boot, or dirt and moisture reaching the rack. Inspect the boot if you notice damage during service.
