Delphi Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:TBR5011
Keep road grime, grit and moisture out of your front steering rack with the Delphi Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit TBR3086. The bellows (boots) seal the tie-rod ends of the front rack-and-pinion assembly, and this kit drops in as a replacement on a range of classic BMWs: the 318I (1984-1985 and 1991-1992), 318IS (1991), 325 (1986-1988), 325E (1984-1987), 325ES (1986-1987), 325I (1987-1993), 325IS (1987-1991), 325IX (1988-1991) and M3 (1988-1991). See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list.
Torn or split bellows let contaminants reach the rack internals, so signs this kit may be needed include a cracked, leaking or missing boot. Replacing the bellows seals the assembly back up.

How do I know my bellows need replacing?
