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 is a common cause of steering wear and can be a sign this kit needs replacing. It fits a wide range of front rack-and-pinion applications, including the 1985-1999 Volkswagen Golf, 1982-1999 Volkswagen Jetta, 1990-1997 Volkswagen Passat, 1981-1986 Ford Escort, 1984-1989 Ford Tempo, 1983-1987 Renault Alliance, and more — see the Buyer's Guide tab 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.
