Delphi TBR5036 Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit

Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit for Mazda and Ford

Delphi TBR5036 is a standard replacement rack and pinion bellows kit built for steering systems on select Mazda and Ford vehicles. It uses a black rubber bellows design to help protect the rack from road debris, moisture, and contamination while maintaining OE-style fit and material compatibility.

Key Features

• Black rubber bellows for steering rack protection
• Standard replacement grade for everyday service work
• Bellows end inside diameters: 0.66 in. and 2.16 in.
• 17-rib bellows design
• Delphi OE-based dimensional and material analysis for fit consistency
• Tested for extreme temperatures and salt exposure in OE-style validation

Product Details

Delphi TBR5036 rack and pinion bellows kit is engineered for steering applications on 1994-2002 Mazda 626, 1995-1998 Ford Contour, 1993-1997 Ford Probe, and 1995-1997 Mazda MX-6. It is a direct-fit steering bellows replacement for vehicles that need a durable rubber boot to shield the rack and pinion assembly from dirt, water, and wear. Delphi applies OE-focused testing and material analysis to support dimensional accuracy and long-term compatibility in service.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 103-2758 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or torn steering rack bellows
• Contamination entering the rack and pinion assembly
• Moisture exposure around steering components
• Wear from road debris and grime
• Loss of protective sealing at the steering rack boot

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the steering rack, tie rod ends, and clamps before installation. Confirm the bellows end diameters match the vehicle application and verify the boot seats fully on both ends before returning the vehicle to service. For best results, replace worn steering components at the same time if damage or leakage is present.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional checks, and material analysis for aftermarket steering parts. This bellows kit is validated through extreme temperature exposure and extended salt-spray testing to support durability in demanding driving conditions.
