This is a steering rack bellows (also called a tie-rod boot) designed to seal and protect the internal components of the steering rack. It flexes and expands as the steering moves, keeping out dirt, dust, water and debris that could degrade the rack or tie rod internals.
Sold each, x2 required per car.
Fits:
Porsche 970.1 Panamera 2010 -2013
Porsche 970.2 Panamera 2014 - 2016

Steering rack gaiter kit
TRW steering rack gaiter kit for Porsche 986 Boxster and 996 models equipped with the early steering rack. Suitable for the left and right front axle positions and supplied with accessories.
One kit per car required
Fits
Porsche 986 Boxster 1997 - 2004
Porsche 996 1998 - 2005
Please note
Fitting Position: Front Axle left and right,
For OE Steering Rack No.: 996.347.011.05, 996.347.012.05
Inner Diameter 1: 12,3 mm, Inner Diameter 2: 48 mm, Height: 195,3 mm, With accessories
What This Product Does
The flexible bellows cover the moving rack ends and inner steering joints. They help exclude road grit and moisture while accommodating steering movement and keeping lubrication protected.
Functions
- Shield the covered steering components from contamination.
- Accommodate movement as the steering operates.
- Help protect lubricated inner joints from moisture exposure.
Symptoms of Fault
- Visible cracking, punctures or tears in the bellows.
- Loose attachment or contamination around the gaiter ends.
- Moisture or dirt found beneath the protective cover.
- Knocking where an exposed inner joint has developed wear.
Steering noise or looseness can have several causes. Inspect the rack and joints rather than assuming a replacement gaiter will resolve existing mechanical wear.
Why Replacement Matters
A damaged or poorly secured gaiter leaves the covered components exposed to water and abrasive debris. Renewing it restores the protective barrier, but cannot repair a worn joint or leaking rack. Check the inner joint and attachment points during the work.
FAQs
Will this fit every listed vehicle?
Confirm the installed rack reference: this kit is intended for the early rack specification.
Is alignment needed afterwards?
Have the wheel alignment checked if track rods are disturbed or their adjustment changes.
What should be inspected with the gaiter removed?
Check for inner-joint play, contamination and signs of rack leakage before fitting the replacement cover.

Steering rack gaiter kit
TRW steering rack gaiter kit for Porsche 986 Boxster and 996 models fitted with the specified later steering racks. Accessories are included for the front axle's left and right sides.
One kit per car required
Fits
Porsche 986 Boxster 1997 - 2004
Porsche 996 1998 - 2005
Please note
Fitting Position: Front Axle left and right,
For OE Steering Rack No.: 996.347.011.06, 996.347.011.07, 996.347.012.07, 996.347.012.08
Inner Diameter 1: 12,3 mm, Inner Diameter 2: 52 mm, Height: 195,3 mm, With accessories
What This Product Does
The bellows cover the moving rack ends and inner steering joints, helping exclude moisture and road debris while accommodating steering movement.
Functions
- Shield covered steering components against contamination.
- Maintain a flexible protective enclosure as the rack moves.
- Help protect inner joints from exposure when correctly secured.
Symptoms of Fault
- Visible tears, punctures or cracking in the bellows.
- Loose attachment points or contamination beneath the gaiter.
- Moisture entering the covered joint area.
Knocking or steering play warrants inspection of the joints and related components rather than assuming the gaiter alone is responsible.
Why Replacement Matters
A damaged or unsecured gaiter leaves the enclosed components exposed. Renewing it restores the protective covering, but any existing joint wear also needs assessment.
FAQs
How many kits does a vehicle need?
One kit per car required.
How do I confirm suitability?
Match the fitted steering rack number against the four OE rack references above.
Is alignment needed afterwards?
Have the alignment checked if track rods or steering adjustment settings are disturbed during installation.
What should be inspected during replacement?
Check the exposed inner joints for contamination and excessive play before fitting the new bellows.
