Delphi TBR5124 Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit - Left

Delphi Rack and Pinion Bellows Kit TBR5124

Delphi TBR5124 is a standard replacement rack and pinion bellows kit for left-side steering applications. It is built for vehicles that need OE-style steering rack protection and dimensional accuracy, including select Mazda Miata, Mazda Protege, Mazda Protege5, Mazda 929, Suzuki Grand Vitara, and Suzuki XL-7 applications.

Key Features

• Standard replacement rack and pinion bellows kit
• Left-side position
• OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for fit consistency
• Tested for temperature extremes below -40 C and above 120 C
• Exposed to 720 hours of salt spray during validation
• Delphi part number TBR5124 for steering service and repair lookup

Detailed Description

Delphi TBR5124 is a steering rack bellows kit made for protecting the rack and pinion assembly from dirt, moisture, and road debris while maintaining proper steering system movement. Delphi applies OE engineering experience to its aftermarket steering portfolio, with validation that includes extreme temperature cycling and corrosion exposure. This helps support fitment consistency on vehicles such as the 1990-1995 Mazda Miata, 2000-2003 Mazda Protege, and 1999-2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara. The part number TBR5124 is also useful when cross-checking steering repair catalogs and service references.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., K9879, NA02-32-125) for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2002-2006 Suzuki XL-7, N/A

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or torn steering rack bellows
• Contamination entering the steering rack area
• Moisture-related wear around the rack and pinion assembly
• Loss of protective sealing on the left side of the steering gear
• Steering service needs on Mazda and Suzuki applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and steering position before ordering. Match the left-side application exactly, especially on the 1988-1989 Mazda 929 where position is specified. Inspect the steering rack, tie rod ends, and surrounding boots during service so the new bellows kit is installed on a clean, serviceable assembly.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates steering components with OE-oriented dimensional and material analysis and subjects parts to severe temperature and corrosion testing. That testing approach supports consistent aftermarket replacement quality for TBR5124.
