Product Details

This rack and pinion bellows kit helps protect the steering rack from road debris, moisture, and contamination while maintaining the correct boot shape and flexibility. Moog focuses on design updates that improve service life and make replacement easier, and K150318 follows that approach for Nissan Altima, Nissan Maxima, and Nissan Quest steering repairs. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Torn or cracked steering rack bellows
• Contamination entering the rack and pinion assembly
• Loss of boot flexibility from age and heat exposure
• Improper sealing after steering service
• Noise or wear concerns caused by damaged protective boots

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, model, and steering application before installation. Inspect the rack housing, tie rod ends, and adjacent seals for wear before fitting the new bellows. Use the included hardware and ties to secure the boot and confirm that the bellows seats evenly without twisting.

Quality Assurance

Moog is known in chassis and steering service for ongoing design improvements that support easier installation and replacement. K150318 is a service part intended for select Nissan steering applications and is cataloged for direct replacement use.
