Detailed Description

Mevotech MK9680 is a direct-fit steering bellows kit for vehicles that use a rack and pinion setup. The rubber bellows helps cover the steering rack and inner tie rod area, while the supplied clamps and ties secure the boot in place. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Compatible with 1985-1988 Chevrolet Spectrum, front; 1989 Geo Spectrum, front; and 1985-1989 Isuzu I-Mark, front. Mevotech MK9680 is a practical replacement when servicing worn or damaged steering rack boots on these vehicles.

What It Helps Address

• Torn or cracked steering rack bellows
• Contamination entering the rack and pinion assembly
• Loss of protection around inner tie rod components
• Boot damage from age, heat, and road exposure
• Loose or missing bellows retention at the rack ends

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the steering rack, inner tie rods, and boot seats before installation. Clean the sealing surfaces, position the bellows evenly, and secure both ends with the included clamps and ties. Verify the boot length and end diameters match the vehicle’s rack dimensions before final tightening. For best results, replace any damaged steering components at the same time.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech manufactures steering and chassis replacement parts for service applications that require accurate fit and dependable materials. MK9680 uses rubber construction and included retention hardware to support a secure installation on the listed front steering applications.
