Product Information
Prevents water and dust from getting inside of the steering rack or degrading the inner tie rod end
If your BMW's steering rack boots are torn we suggest replacing them immediately. The reason for this is the boot serves an important functional purpose. The boot keeps dirt, moisture, and other foreign objects from degrading the steering rack seal or inner tie rod joint.
FCP recommends replacing these steering rack boots when installing new inner tie rod ends or tie rod assemblies to ensure leak free operation.
Rack and pinion bellows are protective rubber or synthetic covers also known as boots that seal and protect the rack and the joints from the rack to the spindles. They encase the steering rack's inner tie rods and prevent contaminants like dirt, debris, and moisture from entering, which can cause wear and tear on the system’s moving parts.
Rack and Pinion Bellows Failure Symptoms- Visible Cracks or Tears: Physical inspection may reveal cracks or splits in the bellows, allowing contaminants to enter the steering rack
- Premature Wear of Steering Components: Damaged bellows expose the rack and pinion to dirt and moisture, which accelerates wear on the steering components, potentially leading to more frequent alignments or part replacements
