Dorman - OE Solutions Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:541-543
Shield your steering gear from grit, moisture, and road debris with the Dorman - OE Solutions Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 541-535. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1974-1978 Ford Mustang II, 1973-1980 Ford Pinto, and 1977-1980 Mercury Bobcat. The bellows are the flexible boots that seal the ends of the rack and pinion housing — they protect the inner tie rod ends and rack teeth from contamination while helping keep the internal lubricant where it belongs. This kit supplies the left and right bellows for the listed applications.
Signs the bellows may need replacing include cracked, torn, or split boots, grease seeping from the ends of the rack, or dirt and moisture reaching the inner tie rods. If worn bellows are the cause, replacing them with this kit helps restore that protection. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
