Rear KYB Strut Install Problem


fergup

Recommended Posts

Well both struts blew in the same week so I ordered the KYB rear struts and went this morning to have them installed.

 

The mechanic was a bit suprised to find that the previous installer never put the rubber bumper stops back in. So I just had the strut and the plastic boot, but the boot was just flopping around.

No wonder the struts went!!

 

Problem is now I cannot find anyone who sells the bumperstop unless you purchase the entire strut assembly complete.

 

Anyone have an idea where i can maybe get a boot//bumper kit??

 

Thanks

Where did you purchase your KYB struts? You should go back where you bought them and pick up the corresponding upper mounts and boots. The KYB boots have the bumper integrated into the top of them (where they insert into the upper mount.)

 

FWIW, I purchased my KYB struts, mounts, and boots from http://www.tirerack.com ...

I got them at AJUSA. I paid 97.00 for both rear struts . The mounts and boots will be another 95.00 and I have them in the cart waiting to purchase. I just wanted to verify the bumper question so that is good to know about the boots including the bumper, tbis will solve my problem.

 

Many Thanks

I just picked some up from the junk yard. 2 dollars, and about 20 mins of work (and a little cussing when I scrapped the back of my hand)..
