Dustboot question

Hey, i just got my suspension installed today and i'm not too satisfied with the job... The fronts look okay, but the rears are kind of shady... First of all, on one side, i can see the shock piston (not covered by the dustboot) and on the other side where it is covered, the bottom part of the dustboot does not seal the shock... Is this normal or should i raise hell at the shop i got it installed?

Thanks

The dustboots do not attach to the struts at the bottom. They attach to the mounts at the top and are open on the bottom.

You should not be able to see the piston rod tough. Take it back and make them fix it.

Here's a pic of what NOT to do with your dustboot!

It looks like you have no dustboots. At least from this angle. Take the car back and raise hell. Either or, you should have dustboots to prevent dirt from getting on your strut.
