- House the rack and pinion systems
- Help keep power steering fluid from leaking out
- Replace if worn, cracked, or loose
The Rack And Pinion Bellows on your vehicle are cylindrical components with accordion hinges that house the rack and pinion parts on your vehicle's steering system. The rack and pinion system is responsible for converting your steering wheel's circular motion into a side to side motion that turns the wheels.
The rack and pinion systems sit inside the Rack And Pinion Bellows to keep dirt and debris out of the rack and pinion parts that could affect steering control or cause steering parts to break. At the same time, the Rack And Pinion Bellows help prevent power steering fluid leaks from the rack and pinion system.
Over time, the Rack And Pinion Bellows can wear out, crack, or lose their seal. If your vehicle's Rack And Pinion Bellows are worn, you may lose power steering fluid, making it difficult to turn the steering wheel. If the rack and pinion systems pick up dirt or debris, your vehicle's steering can feel loose, your steering wheel might not return to its center position as easily, 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. Our parts come with a 12,000-mile or 12-month warranty (whichever comes first).
