need some help with bump stops,dustcover

I am changing all 4 struts on my 2k max but, the bumpstops/dust covers are falling apart and need new ones. Is this a dealer part or can i get them somewhere else? and whats the cost?

I replaced all mine, and I think the bumpstop/boots cost around $20 a piece. I found them online somewhere, so it's not a dealer only part.

I wouldn't recommend KYB dust boots (I think that's what they sell at Tiretrack.com). I just ordered and installed them in the rear and looking at them, they looked very cheap. They are plastic, while the OEM ones are rubber (not to say that the OEM ones are good either, since all mine were torn too).

you can get them from your local Pep Boys, Advanced Auto parts, any foriegn car (Japanese) auto parts, Summit, Jeg's , etc... Use KYB's and you'll be happy! I think the front are around $15/ea and the rears are around $8-12/ea!

Thanks everyone for your input. I ended up getting them from tire rack.There were some places like pepboys that could get them,but it was a specal order and they were kyb brand anyway.I dont care about the dust cover that much,Its the bumpstop that was falling apart,from bottoming out too much on my Tokico blues.
