[LuizeGT]

hiya
im looking to change the boots on the shocks on my stock suspension. do you know any cheap places that sell these?

[marktullett]

why replace the boots? just keep them clean and well greased.

Maybe they've rotted to hell and need replacing?

Give Trevor at TCB a call mate- he may even have reasonable 2nd hand ones

Can I ask how you keep a strut clean when it's in the wheelarch?

Also putting grease on the fescalized portion means dirt/foreign matter sticks leading to a higher chance of the dirt getting drawn through the gland seal, inevitably leading to seal failure.

Oem ones even from Trevor are best part of £100

Powerflex universal boots with bumpstops from Larkspeed are £50 and are a very good fit.

cos they have fallen apart


cheers for the replies, il look at the universal ones

I just sold a new pair of polyflex ones for a tenner, they are £25 new I think, for a pair.

Not 100% fitment but very close.
