Keep dirt, water, and road grime out of your steering rack with the Delphi Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit TBR5001. The flexible bellows (boot) seals the inner tie-rod area of the rack and pinion assembly, and this kit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1998 Subaru Impreza, 1995-2004 Subaru Legacy, 2000-2004 Subaru Outback, and 2003 Subaru Baja — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
A cracked or torn bellows lets contaminants reach the rack internals, so a split boot or grease seepage around the tie-rod area are signs this part may need replacing. Installing this kit replaces the worn boot to re-seal the tie-rod area of your steering rack.

What does a rack and pinion bellows do?
The bellows is a flexible boot that seals the inner tie-rod area of the rack and pinion assembly, keeping dirt, water, and debris out of the steering rack internals while allowing the tie rod to move.
Which vehicles does the Delphi TBR5001 kit fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1998 Subaru Impreza, 1995-2004 Subaru Legacy, 2000-2004 Subaru Outback, and 2003 Subaru Baja. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
What are signs the bellows needs replacing?
A cracked, split, or torn boot and grease seepage around the tie-rod area are common signs. A damaged bellows lets contaminants reach the rack, so replacing it re-seals the tie-rod area.

Yes. Per Delphi, the kit includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
Is the Delphi bellows kit tested for durability?
