Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2206
Seal out grit, road spray, and moisture and protect your steering rack with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit (103-3154). This application-specific kit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2006 MINI Cooper — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details. The bellows (boot) wraps the inner tie-rod and rack end, keeping contaminants out and steering grease in; a cracked or torn original lets dirt and water reach the rack, so replacing a failed boot restores that protection.
Beck/Arnley specializes in OE-quality parts for foreign nameplates, with attention to form, fit, and function. If a torn or aged bellows is behind a grease leak or exposed rack, this kit replaces it.
