This part is basically a flexible, concertina – like covering. It’s designed to protect something – usually a joint or connection – from dirt, water, and just general wear and tear. It allows movement while still keeping the gunk out. It expands and contracts as the parts underneath move, but it acts like a shield against the elements. Usually, you’ll find these protecting things like CV joints on front – wheel drive cars, or steering rack connections. Sometimes they’re around suspension components too. It’s all about keeping grease in and contaminants out of those moving parts. They’re pretty critical to the operation of those systems. Well, if this bellows cracks or tears, everything it’s protecting is exposed. That grease will fling out, and dirt, water, and salt will get in. That leads to corrosion and wear on the joint or connection it's meant to protect. You’ll notice if one goes bad because you'll probably start hearing clicking or clunking noises, especially when you turn. Ignoring it will just lead to a much bigger, more expensive repair down the road. You can usually find replacements pretty easily – Fixparts Online has a good selection of these, and it’s a lot cheaper than replacing the whole joint! So, it's a relatively inexpensive part that can save you a headache. Customer-approved reliability: Rubber Bellows (MPN 13541435625) includes a 12-month warranty!
