New Coil Spring Isolators

Anybody know where I can buy new coil spring isolators? My rubber ones are all ripped up. I would like to go with aftermarket either polyurethane or polygraphite.

Are you refering to strut dust boots by any chance?

No the coils strut isolators sit on top of the springs to prevent metal to metal with the strut housing.

Most of the strut manufacturers make their own replacement strut mounts for the front. If you don't go with aftermarket, you can go with the OEM for a little more money. I think DaveB at Southpoint Nissan will sell them for $33 each. Of course you need the bearing too, which is another $26 each. I picked up a set of Tokico strut mounts for $40 each with bearings from Justin at ImportCarPartsPlus. Check out the group buy section.

I think he is just talking about the rubber wraps that go around the coil springs. Check www.nissanpartscheap.com for some......I got some last year. Think they were really cheap.

If you google image "coil spring isolators" is displays what we commonly refer to as the rubber section of the front mounts. The wrap that goes around the top and bottom coil of the spring, I'm not sure what to call those.
