Keep dirt, grit, and moisture out of your front rack and pinion steering gear with the Mevotech Supreme Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit MK8581. The bellows (boots) seal the inner tie rod ends and rack shaft on the FRONT, FRONT RIGHT, and FRONT LEFT positions, protecting the steering gear internals from contamination while allowing the rack to move freely. It fits a wide range of applications, including the 1985-1988 Chevrolet Sprint, 1994-1997 Ford Aspire, 1981-1985 Ford Escort, 1982-1988 Ford EXP, 1978-1980 Ford Fiesta, 1971-1972 Ford Pinto, 1984-1985 Ford Tempo, 1990-1993 Geo Storm, 2001-2005 Kia Rio, 1990-2000 Lexus LS400, 1989-1998 Mazda MPV, 1986-1991 and 1993-1995 Mazda RX-7, 1982-1983 Mercury LN7, 1981-1985 Mercury Lynx, 1984 Mercury Topaz, 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 1987-1990 Mitsubishi Van, 1985-1991 Pontiac Firefly, 1993-2001 Toyota Corolla, 1986-1992 Toyota Cressida, 1975-1981 Volvo 242/244/245, 1976 and 1978 Volvo 262, and 1976-1978 Volvo 264/265 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
