Seal out road grime, water, and grit that destroy steering internals with the Mevotech Supreme Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit MK6298. This front-steering kit is a direct-fit replacement for many GM and Chrysler-family cars, including the 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala, 1999-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, and 1983-1987 Dodge Charger — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The bellows (steering rack boots) are the flexible sleeves that fit over the rack ends and inner tie rods. They keep the rack's lubricating grease in and seal dust, moisture, and debris out. Once a boot cracks or tears, contaminants can reach the inner tie rods and rack, so replacing the bellows during an inner tie rod or rack service helps protect the steering gear.
- OE-quality fit and performance for a straightforward install.
- Bellows shield the inner tie rod and rack ends.
- Front application — covers the front steering rack on the listed vehicles.
- Kit format supplies the bellows for the service.
If split or leaking boots are behind grease loss or contamination on your steering rack, this kit replaces them.
