Delphi Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:TBR4245
Keep road grit, water, and debris out of your front steering rack with the Delphi Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit TBR3105. The bellows (boots) seal the ends of the rack and pinion assembly, protecting the inner tie rods and rack from contamination — a torn or split bellows lets dirt and moisture in, which can lead to steering wear and can be a sign this kit needs replacing. It fits many front rack-and-pinion applications, among them the 1982-1999 Volkswagen Jetta, 1990-1997 Volkswagen Passat and 1985-1999 Volkswagen Golf — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Delphi's extensive dimensional and material analysis is intended to ensure strong compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
