Product Details

This Delphi rack and pinion bellows, part number TBR5137, is made for steering gear protection on front-mounted Subaru steering systems. It helps shield the rack from road debris, moisture, and contamination while maintaining the correct bellows shape and sealing profile. Delphi applies OE engineering practices to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including dimensional checks and material evaluation to support proper compatibility. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 34135) for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 1998-2005 Subaru Impreza, front
• Fits 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, front

Common Uses

• Replacing a torn or cracked steering rack boot
• Restoring protection around the rack and pinion assembly
• Reducing exposure to dirt, water, and road salt
• Addressing steering boot wear on Subaru Impreza and Subaru Forester models
• Supporting proper bellows movement during steering travel

Installation Notes and Quality

Verify the front steering application and compare the original bellows dimensions before installation. Inspect the rack, tie rod ends, and surrounding steering components for wear while the boot is removed. Delphi subjects this steering part to temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt spray testing, to evaluate durability under demanding conditions.
