Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery and remove any protective covers around the steering rack.
2. Removal of Old Bellow: Carefully detach the existing bellow by loosening the mounting bolts on both the steering column and the rack. Note the orientation for correct reassembly.
3. Cleaning: Clean all mating surfaces with a solvent to remove grease, dirt, or old sealant residue.
4. Mounting: Position the new LEMFORDER 37628 01 bellow onto the steering column and rack. Ensure that the reinforced side faces the correct direction as indicated by the manufacturer’s diagram.
5. Tightening: Secure the bolts to the specified torque (typically 30–35 Nm, but verify with vehicle service manual). Use a calibrated torque wrench for accuracy.
6. Testing: Reconnect the battery and test the steering operation. Verify that there is no excessive play or noise and that the bellow flexes smoothly during turns.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the bellow annually for signs of cracking, bulging, or oil seepage.
• Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals such as solvents that can degrade rubber integrity.
• If the steering feels stiff or if there is a noticeable vibration, consider replacing the bellow sooner than scheduled.
