Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced MOOG Chassis Product: K9863 Rack & Pinion Bellows by Aaron Guy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great aftermarket part compared to OEM

Rebuilt 2000 Civic Si front end and one of the parts replaced was an R&P bellows. Regardless of who makes these bellows, time, environment and wear and tear will destroy these bellows. I have found the Moog parts to be of good quality and highly recommend replacing the old bellows with Moog. Read some installation reviews and no problems if you get it right. First you need to remove the outer die stem, remove the old bellows, clean the area and apply silicone paste to both ends of the new bellows. Slide the larger end over the R&P body and attach the front panel. Given the amount of work involved, you may spend time inspecting and replacing inner/outer tie rods, ball joints and other parts depending on the age, usage and condition of the parts. It will take some time but not a difficult task if you have the knowledge and car/tool mechanical aptitude. As mentioned, the entire front end has been rebuilt using Moog parts, resulting in the Si driving tight and like new. Remember, whenever you are ever replacing a front or rear main body, it is recommended that a camber adjustment be performed as the last step in the process.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Almost Never
