strut boot question=-

Post by jamesmetairie »

2005 base vibe. about 77,000 miles,automatic transmission.
the rubber boots around the front struts are badly torn .
maybe caused by busted front of fender liners .
you can see the strut rod exposed.
years ago there was a aftermarket boot that was easily applied to cover a busted c/v axle boot.
should i be searching for that?
as always thanks for any advice.

you can get just the boot but before you put it on, you'll want to inspect the rod for any damage and/or leaks. If it is damage or leaking, you would need to get the strut changed, it's no fun riding around with blow struts, I've done it.
