Help keep road grit and moisture away from the moving parts of your steering rack with the Dorman - OE Solutions Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit, part number 541-547.

The bellows, or boots, cover the ends of the steering rack where the inner tie rods travel in and out. They help keep contaminants out and lubricant in. The catalog lists this kit for the front, left and right positions. Dorman precision-engineers and tests this kit as a replacement for the original components on specific vehicles.

  • Direct replacement: reverse-engineered from the stock part so it fits and works like it on specific vehicles.
  • Reliable fit: precision-engineered to follow the design and dimensions of the original components.
  • Durable construction: built to strict standards from sturdy, safe materials.
  • Rigorously tested: checked through thorough quality-control measures.

A split or torn boot can let dirt and water reach the rack. If that is happening, replacing the bellows is intended to help protect the rack ends. While the rack is apart, inspect the inner tie rods and the rack for existing damage.
