MOOG K100182 Rack & Pinion Bellows Kit Fits select: 1997-2003 SUBARU IMPREZA, 1998-2001 SUBARU FORESTER

The boot itself fit my SF forester great and high quality like always with Moog. The pinch clamp does not fit whatsoever and is driving me insane. There's no possible way to slide it on with the pinch clamp already on, the inside lip on the rubber is too tall to slide it over after sliding the rubber on, and it's way too small to re-assemble onto the boot even on the loosest fit. I tried stretching the pinch out a little to give me more length, still no. I'm probably going to have to use a worm clamp that's going to cut into the boot over time or loosen in 2 years and the boots going to slide off without me knowing.
