Product Information

Volvo Rack and Pinion Bellow Kit - Lemforder

Don't let a ripped Rack and Pinion boot result in a loose and deteriorated inner tie rod end. This bellows boot kit is responsible for keeping contaminates from making contact with your vehicle's inner tie rod end ball joint to prevent premature failure. FCP recommends you replace these in pairs.

Rack and Pinion Bellows

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

clamp issues
The boots are really nice quality, but I ran into an issue with the oetiker style clamps provided. I replaced both the passenger side and driver side boots, and found the size 45 clamp that came with the boots fit perfectly on the passenger side, but wasn't even close on the driver side. I ended up searching for and ordering a size 55 oetiker clamp that fit on the driver side nice and snug. I suppose the easy fix would be to use a traditional worm style clamp, but I like to put things back the way I found them. So fyi, a size 45 worked for the passenger side and a size 55 oetiker clamp fit the driver side. Not sure why this was the case, but it was frustrating nonetheless. If you have never replaced these boots, know that it is a very challenging job. The spaces you have to work with are very small. After attempting for two hours to get the passenger side boot on by myself, I gave up. I then ordered some hose puller tools to assist and asked my wife to help me as well. We were able to get them on with this approach, but it still took around 45 minutes to get both boots on. I honestly hope I never have to change these boots again.

A 'great' protector kit
Common issue on these cars. Took about 2 days to install on passenger's side, due to tight spaces. Hope it lasts. No complaints.
