Delphi TBR5140 Rack and Pinion Bellows - Front Right

OE-Style Rack and Pinion Bellows for Front Right Steering

The Delphi TBR5140 rack and pinion bellows is built for front right steering applications on select Acura RL and Acura TL models. It is engineered around OE dimensions and material analysis to support proper fit at the steering rack while helping protect internal components from road debris and contamination.

Key Features

• Rack and pinion bellows for the front right position
• Length: 177.0
• End 1 inside diameter: 0.35
• End 2 inside diameter: 1.97
• OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for fit consistency
• Built to handle extreme temperature exposure and salt spray testing

Detailed Description

Delphi TBR5140 is a steering rack bellows designed for OE-style replacement on vehicles that require a front right bellows with the listed dimensions. Delphi applies its OE engineering background to the aftermarket steering portfolio, with testing that includes sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt spray resistance. That approach supports durability in demanding steering environments while maintaining compatibility with the original application. This part cross-references Acura 53535-SZ5-003 for the same application. Fits 1996-2004 Acura RL, front right. Fits 1996-1998 Acura TL, front right. For Acura RL and Acura TL steering repairs, the Delphi TBR5140 provides a direct-fit bellows option for the front right side.

What It Helps Address

• Torn or cracked steering rack bellows
• Contamination entering the steering rack area
• Loss of protection around the inner tie rod and rack assembly
• Fitment issues caused by incorrect bellows dimensions
• Replacement needs on Acura RL and Acura TL front right steering systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front right position and compare the bellows length and end diameters before installation. Inspect the steering rack, inner tie rod area, and adjacent seals for wear or damage while the bellows is removed. Confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and position before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering and validation methods for its steering components, including dimensional and material analysis plus environmental testing for temperature extremes and corrosion exposure.
