Keep road grime, moisture, and debris out of your steering gear with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit (P/N 103-3149). This boot kit seals over the rack and pinion and inner tie-rod area, holding grease in and contaminants out so the rack stays protected. It installs as a direct replacement for the listed applications, including the 2016-2025 Hyundai Elantra, 2015-2025 Hyundai Sonata, 2018-2025 Hyundai Kona, 2019-2024 Kia Forte, 2021-2025 Kia K5, and 2016-2020 Kia Optima — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full vehicle list.
- One-piece neoprene boot: a solid boot, not a split design.
- Complete install kit: includes the boot plus two clamps for the replacement.
- OE form, fit, and function: engineered to match the original component for the listed foreign-nameplate applications.
- Application-specific, quality construction for durability.
A torn, cracked, or split steering rack boot lets grease escape and lets grit reach the rack, which can accelerate wear. If a damaged bellows is what you're chasing, this kit replaces it and reseals the assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this bellows kit do?
It seals over the rack and pinion and inner tie-rod area, keeping steering grease in and dirt, moisture, and debris out to protect the rack from contamination and wear.
Is this a split boot?
No. It is a one-piece neoprene boot, not a split design, so it slides over the assembly rather than wrapping around it.
What's included in the kit?
The kit includes the boot and two clamps needed to complete the installation.
Will it fit my vehicle?
It's application-specific for the listed Hyundai and Kia models, such as the Elantra, Sonata, Kona, Forte, K5, and Optima. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your year and model.
How do I know the boot needs replacing?
Signs include a torn, cracked, or leaking boot, escaping grease, or grit reaching the rack. If a damaged bellows is the cause, this kit replaces it and reseals the area.
