Material & Construction Details

The steering bellow is constructed from a multi‑layer rubber compound that includes:

• A reinforced inner layer for structural integrity.
• An outer protective coating to shield against abrasion and UV degradation.
• Embedded silicone seals that maintain fluid containment within the steering system.

This construction ensures that the bellow can endure continuous flexing while maintaining a tight seal, preventing leaks of power‑steering fluid.

2. Remove the existing steering bellows by loosening the mounting bolts on both sides of the front axle.
3. Align the new LEMFODER 3011201 Steering bellows with the mounting points, ensuring that the inner and outer layers are correctly oriented.
4. Tighten the bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque settings (typically around 30–35 Nm).
5. Re‑attach the steering wheel column and re‑install any steering column covers or guards.
6. Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and check for fluid leaks or abnormal steering feel.

Maintenance & Inspection Tips

• Inspect the bellows regularly for signs of cracking, bulging, or oil seepage.
• Check the mounting bolts for tightness every 10,000 km or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• If any damage is detected, replace both left and right bellows simultaneously to maintain balanced steering dynamics.
