ProParts 272418 Steering Rack Boot - Kit

The ProParts 272418 Steering Rack Boot is a protective rubber component designed to seal and protect the steering rack assembly from environmental contamination. This essential steering system component creates a barrier between the rack and pinion housing and the inner tie rod end, preventing dirt, moisture, road salt, and debris from entering critical steering components.

Key Features:

• Constructed from durable flexible rubber material that resists aging and harsh undercar conditions
• Accordion-style design allows for compression and expansion during steering and suspension movement
• Protects inner tie rod joints and steering rack ends from premature wear
• Helps retain steering gear lubrication while keeping contaminants out
• Direct replacement for OEM part number 272418
• Also known by alternate part numbers: 47432418, 7340024622813

Replacing a torn or cracked steering rack boot promptly can prevent costly steering rack and inner tie rod replacement down the road. The boot's flexible construction accommodates the lateral movement of the steering rack and vertical suspension travel while maintaining a protective seal. Regular inspection of steering rack boots during routine maintenance is recommended to catch wear or damage early.
