Product Details

VAICO steering components are built for direct-fit replacement needs, and the VAICO line focuses on application-specific parts for European vehicles. This rack and pinion bellows uses thermoplast material and the listed dimensions to match the steering rack geometry on select Mercedes-Benz CL-Class and S-Class models. The V30-1512 is a practical replacement when the original bellows is cracked, split, or no longer sealing properly.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
