Seal the steering rack against dirt, road grime and moisture with the Mevotech Supreme Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit MK150289. It installs at the front steering rack as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2009-2012 Ford Escape, 2003-2009 Kia Sorento and 2004-2006 GMC Canyon. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications.
The bellows is the accordion-style rubber boot that wraps the inner tie rod and rack teeth, flexing with steering travel while keeping contaminants out and lubricating grease in. A cracked, split or torn boot lets grit and water into the rack, which can lead to premature wear of the inner tie rod and rack assembly.
If a split or leaking bellows is the cause of grease slung around your steering rack, this kit replaces the worn boot. Diagnose the cause before ordering.

What does a rack and pinion bellows do?
It's the accordion-style rubber boot on the steering rack that flexes with steering movement, keeping dirt, water and debris out while holding lubricating grease around the inner tie rod and rack teeth.
Which vehicles does the MK150289 kit fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the front steering rack on many vehicles, among them the 2009-2012 Ford Escape, 2003-2009 Kia Sorento and 2004-2006 GMC Canyon. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
How do I know if my bellows needs replacing?
Signs include a cracked, split or torn boot, grease flung around the steering rack, or dirt and moisture entering the rack. Have the steering inspected to confirm the cause before replacing.
Where is this bellows located?
At the front steering rack, it wraps the inner tie rod and rack teeth where the rack extends and retracts during steering.
What happens if I leave a torn bellows unrepaired?
A torn boot lets grit and water reach the rack, which can lead to premature wear of the inner tie rod and rack assembly, so timely replacement helps protect those components.
