Detailed Description

Part number 531-581 is a rack and pinion bellows kit engineered as a replacement for the original component on specific vehicles. The bellows measures 140 in length and is shaped to fit the steering rack area while helping protect internal steering components from dirt and moisture. Its rubber construction, 2 mm material thickness, and ribbed design support controlled flex during steering movement.

Compatible With Toyota Paseo and Toyota Tercel steering applications, this bellows kit is a practical choice when the original boot is worn, cracked, or no longer sealing properly. Dorman 531-581 is also listed with interchange references including Mevotech Supreme MK9696 and MK90079.
