The rubber accordian boots inside the springs above the struts are shot on my '93 SX. Are they available(aftermarket?), and what is entailed in replacing them front and rear.

Thanks PB:cool:

go to advance and tell them you need a strut boot. to replace it, you'll need to remove your struts, take the top hat off, and removed the spacer and boot. Then put the new boot on, tie the bottom with the included zip tie, replace the spacer and then put the top hat back on

KYB makes replacement boots too. The boot and the bump stop are all one piece. I think they go for ~$10 a piece. Tirerack sells 'em.
