These are basically these flexible boots, usually made of rubber, that cover the ends of your steering rack. They protect the rack and pinion gears, and the piston seals inside from dirt, water, road salt, and just generally anything nasty the road throws up at your car. They also hold grease inside to keep everything lubricated. Think of your steering rack as the heart of your steering system. It's what actually turns the wheels when you move the steering wheel. The bellows sit on either side of where the steering shaft goes into the rack, sealing everything up. They allow the shaft to move as you steer, without letting gunk get inside. Without them, everything’s exposed. If these tear or get cracked, things will start to fail pretty quickly. The grease leaks out, and dirt and water get in. That causes corrosion and wear on the gears and seals. You’ll notice if the steering starts feeling loose or sloppy, or if you start hearing clunking noises when you turn the wheel. It can also lead to bigger, more expensive repairs down the line, like a completely failed steering rack. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and doing it proactively saves you headaches. You can find them pretty easily online; a place like Fixparts Online carries a good selection. Replacing them isn’t super complicated if you’re a decent DIYer, but if you’re not comfortable, it's best to have a mechanic take care of it.
