KYB dustboots

SB106 - Front
SB108 - Rear

you dont have to get them, you can cut your bumpstop and get generic boots, they just need to protect the piston

get them, its worth it to not have to **** with cutting the stock ones. They are pretty cheap.

Search owns you.

Where would you get generic boots in the first place????

Infiniti replaced my i30t front struts, (under warranty) I take
a peak underneath and they replaced the f*cking struts but put
back the old ripped up boots. I flipped out. They said the 3rd party
warranty company didnt cover the boot, just the strut. HA!
Now I am looking to replace the boot with a split or something but
am having a ***** trying to find one.

Any help would be GREAT!

I bought mine from org. I guess I can't help you with where to buy them cheaper but I can say that they hold up pretty good and I have no regrets getting them

Im in the same boat with getting dustboots as Im lowering my car with Illuminas as well.

rockauto.com has all 4 KYB boots for $54 shipped.

I did a search about KYB dustboots and many have complained about their premature life and tearing in a short time. So I dunno what to do. Any suggestions?

You can buy KYB dust boots at TireRack - $14 ea, use 1995 Mustang front and 1995 Miata rear because they're not listed for the Maxima.

i highly advise against KYB boots, they rip very very quick. the best is stock, or mod the stock bumpstop and use them with $3 rancho shock boots.

where can a decent set of dust boot be obtained? (besides the dealership)
IS there anywhere to obtain the KYB boots locally or only can be ordered online.


Struts and springs are here and just need the boots before I drop.
