Shock boots on Konis?

[Jand3rson]

This is to everyone that has Koni shocks on their cars:

Do you have boots over the open portion of the shock with your Konis? Mine didn't come with any, and I just assumed that they didn't need them. I know that I've seen boots on other brands of shocks, I'm just wondering if maybe they forgot them, and I should have them to protect the inside of the shock, or if they just aren't needed with Konis.

I've had these for about a year or so, but it just kind of dawned on me today.

I used the boots from the OEM shocks. I thought Koni forgot to include them but the instructions (drawings) show them over the shocks.

I guess I've never seen boots furnished with Konis. You are supposed to the OE boots and bump stops.

Mine had a steel booth over them from factory.. I hope i understand right...

Those are the rears dude, I'm talking about the fronts. It's cool.

I'm just going to pick up a set and put them in. Better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them.

@ Mr Anderson. :bows head in humility:

Yeah oh well I ordered boots for up front one time. I did also for the rears but those proved to be unnecesaty when I recieved the total shipment

Mine didn't come with boots either.

I added a generic 4x4 shock boots on mine, but it didn't hold for long enough until it broke and slipped.



I dunno why the pics doesn't show up in this site, here is the direct link anyways.
