Mevotech Supreme Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:MK8465
Keep road grime, water, and grit out of your front steering rack with the Mevotech Supreme Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit (MK6472). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the front steering rack on a wide range of GM vehicles, among them the 1993-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and 2006-2010 Buick Lucerne. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The rack-and-pinion bellows (rack boots) shield the inner tie-rod joints and the ends of the steering rack. When a boot cracks, tears, or slips off its clamp, contaminants can enter and lubricant can escape, which over time may lead to steering-rack wear or leaks. If a torn or leaking bellows is the source of the problem, this kit replaces it.
