Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:103-2671
Keep grit, moisture, and road debris out of the steering gear with the Beck/Arnley Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit 103-3064. This bellows (boot) kit seals the inner tie rod and rack shaft area of the rack-and-pinion steering, helping protect it from contamination that leads to premature wear. It fits the 2000-2002 Mercedes-Benz S430, 2000-2002 S500, 2001-2006 S55 AMG, 2001-2002 S600, 2005-2006 CL65 AMG, 2006 S350, 2006 S65 AMG, 2007-2012 SL550, and 2009-2012 SL63 AMG — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
If a torn or cracked steering boot has let dirt and moisture reach the rack, replacing it with this kit restores that protective seal. Beck/Arnley specializes in OE-quality parts for import applications.
