A. G. Olphart Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 My 240 is bootless, and so are the Tokico's that just showed up. What boots do you guys run? Sure hope there is a simple solution... Thinking of my shiny new struts and shocks out in the mud (with crud chewing on the shaft seals) could keep me up nights. .

Brad-ManQ45 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I used the oners from MSA - polyurethane w/integral bump stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIWAY ONE Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I think I got mine from VB. You also should get the snap rings that go at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. G. Olphart Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Many thanks, gentlemen. Now I know they are out there, just gotta collect some catalogs. I was worried, as I've two sets of front struts, neither of which had boots. Even Kragens had some that might work (with haywire to hold the tops up) but no bump stops involved.

Clifton Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 IMO, Boots don't offer any extra protection. Never had any problems with the shaft seals and dirt. On off road shocks the moisture stays in the boot and rusts the top of the shock. The small vent holes just allow water in but they don't dry out fast enough. Not many people(offroad orreintated) run them except for show. I haven't had any experience with them on road cars though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
