Positioned on the outer ends of the steering rack assembly housing where the inner tie rods exit, its primary function is to seal the sensitive inner mechanical working joints. It shields the precision-machined steering rack shaft, internal seals, and tie rod axial ball joints from destructive road debris, dust, moisture, and salt spray. By maintaining an airtight and watertight flexible barrier, it retains the vital grease lubricating the steering gear, preventing premature component wear, corrosion, and catastrophic hydraulic fluid leaks in power-assisted setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e TOPRAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102 802 \/ 102802\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steering Gear Dust Cover Boot \/ Bellows\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) \/ high-flexibility rubber compound engineered for maximum oil, tear, and ozone degradation resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front Axle, Left or Right (Symmetrical design fits either side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Diameter 1 [mm]:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5 (Small tie rod end collar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Diameter 2 [mm]:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49.5 (Large steering rack housing collar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength [mm]:\u003c\/strong\u003e 185\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis protective steering bellow is precision-contoured to fit standard manual and power steering rack designs across classic Volkswagen Group (VAG) passenger cars from the mid-1970s through the early 2000s:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eCar Model\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eCompatible Steering Systems\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eEngine Displacements\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eYear of Manufacture\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Golf II (19E, 1G1) \/ Jetta II (19E)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eManual \u0026amp; Select Power Steering Configurations \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e(TRW \/ XTR \u0026amp; ZF steering system styles)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.3 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.8 \/ 1.8 GTI \/ 1.6 D \/ 1.6 TD\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1983 - 1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Golf I (17) \/ Jetta I (16) \/ Convertible (155) \/ Scirocco\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard Mechanical Shifter\/Steering Layouts\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.5 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.8 \/ 1.6 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1977 - 1993\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Golf III (1H1) \/ Vento (1H2) \/ Variant\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard Manual \/ Power Steering Units\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.4 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.8 \/ 2.0 \/ 1.9 D \/ 1.9 TDI\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1991 - 1998\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Polo II \u0026amp; III (86C, 6N1, 6N2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompact manual mechanical rack platforms\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.0 \/ 1.3 \/ 1.4 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.4 TDI\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1981 - 2001\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSEAT Toledo I (1L) \/ Ibiza II (6K1) \/ Cordoba\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVAG-derived steering gear assemblies\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.6 i \/ 1.8 i \/ 2.0 i \/ 1.9 D \/ 1.9 TDI\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1991 - 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eSteering Gear Manufacturer Application Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e During this production era, Volkswagen factory-equipped vehicles with steering racks sourced from different subcontractors—primarily \u003cstrong\u003eTRW (XTR)\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eZF\u003c\/strong\u003e. These housings feature subtle configuration changes along the mounting lips. Always physically verify your boot length (185mm) and collar dimensions (11.5mm \/ 49.5mm) against your old part before installation.
