Detailed Product Description

This URO rack and pinion bellows kit (part number JLM11688) is engineered to fit select Jaguar models with precision. The bellows are made from black vinyl, a material chosen for its flexibility and resistance to environmental factors such as dirt, moisture, and road debris. Measuring 251 mm in length, the bellows feature two different inside diameters—52 mm on the large end and 39 mm on the small end—to ensure a secure fit on the steering rack assembly. The clamp attachment method allows for a tight seal, preventing contaminants from damaging the internal steering components.
