Delphi Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:TBR5001
Keep road grime, water, and grit out of your steering rack with the Delphi Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit (TBR5130). These flexible bellows (boots) seal the ends of the rack and pinion assembly, holding lubricating grease in and contaminants out as the inner tie rods extend and retract with steering input. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2008 Acura TSX — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Torn or cracked bellows are common signs this kit may be needed — split boots let grease escape and allow dirt and moisture to reach the rack, which can accelerate internal wear. If failed boots are the cause, replacing them helps restore proper sealing.
