• House the rack and pinion systems
• Help keep power steering fluid from leaking out
• Replace if worn, cracked, or loose

Your Nissan's Rack And Pinion Bellows are cylindrical components with accordion hinges that house the rack and pinion parts on your vehicle's steering system. The rack and pinion system takes the circular motion from your steering wheel and converts it into a side to side motion that turns the wheels.

The rack and pinion systems are enclosed within the Rack And Pinion Bellows to help keep the rack and pinion parts free from dirt and debris that can affect control of the steering system or damage steering components. Additionally, the Rack And Pinion Bellows keep power steering fluid from leaking out of the rack and pinion system.

Eventually, Rack And Pinion Bellows may wear out, lose their seal, or crack. If the Rack And Pinion Bellows are worn, you may lose power steering fluid, making it hard to turn the steering wheel. If debris or dirt has gotten into the rack and pinion systems, your steering may feel loose, the steering wheel might not easily return to its center position, your Nissan might drift to one side, or your steering might feel a bit unstable at fast speeds.

If you need to replace your Rack And Pinion Bellows, order genuine replacements from Nissan Parts. Receive our 12,000-mile or 12-month warranty (whichever comes first).
