Mevotech Supreme Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit P/N:MK9868
Keep the steering rack sealed against grit and moisture with the Mevotech Supreme Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit (MS40029). This kit fits the front steering rack and installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2007-2012 Ford Edge and the 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX. The bellows (also called rack boots) wrap the inner tie-rod and rack ends, keeping dirt, debris, and water out of the rack-and-pinion assembly so the internal seals and gears stay protected.
Key features:
Torn, cracked, or oil-soaked bellows are common signs these boots may need replacing; if damaged boots are the cause of contamination or a weeping rack, this kit restores the protective seal. Always inspect the rack and inner tie rods when servicing.

Is this the front or rear part?
This kit is for the front rack-and-pinion assembly.
Will replacing the bellows fix a steering leak?
