Product Details

The Dorman 541-496 is a replacement steering rack and pinion bellows kit designed to restore proper protection to your vehicle's steering rack assembly. The bellows boot seals out dirt, moisture, and road debris that can cause premature wear to the rack and pinion inner tie rod ends and steering gear.

Key Features:

  • Direct-fit replacement for OE bellows/boot
  • Manufactured from durable, flexible rubber or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) to withstand temperature extremes
  • Protects inner tie rod ends and steering gear from contamination
  • Restores proper lubrication retention within the steering rack assembly
  • Designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications
  • Includes all necessary hardware and clamps for installation

Installing a fresh bellows kit is an important part of any steering rack service or inner tie rod replacement. A torn or cracked boot allows contaminants to enter the steering rack, leading to accelerated wear and costly repairs. The Dorman 541-496 provides a cost-effective solution to keep your steering system operating reliably.

I was not expecting to pay for shipping,,taxes is find, first time doing business. Wow

It came in a day later than I was expecting it. But overall, it was OK

I ordered a tire from thmotorsports that the manufacturer had discontinued two years earlier and which I could not find anywhere else, without checking customer reviews first, something I never do. Had I checked reviews first I would never have placed the order as the reviews I read after placing my order were uniformly awful. But rather than call and cancel the order, which was my first impulse, I resisted the urge to do so and waited. A day later, the shipping update said my tire had shipped, so I waited. Another day later, the shipping update said my tire would arrive a day later by the end of the day so I waited. On the appointed day, the tire, exactly the tire I had ordered and which was unavailable anywhere else, arrived at the end of the day, brand new, in perfect condition and I was utterly amazed. Thank you, thmotorsports, I am so glad I did not look at your reviews before placing my order.

Good price, delivered in timely manner, and was as represented. I will buy from them again with confidence.

All was great. I will recommend to customers looking to purchase good quality parts
