Front strut boot Assy

i was pulling my front end apart this afternoon, and the plastic boot/tube at the top of the strut broke. Is there a replacement available for it? I don't see it in any catalogs. I am going to replace the balljoint, tie rods, LCA bushings, strut etc.

Wow, it's actually discontinued. Johnson Motor Company of Georgia (in Augusta)is showing one on the locator. (706)-724-0111

I'm sure you could also post in the classifieds for it, someone probably has one laying around.

855speed, can also use the shock covers that are typically used on rasied off-road trucks. The accordian style cover.

I'd think they'd be a dime a dozen in the bone yards.

Thanks RBob, great idea! These plastic shield dry out in our heat, and if you touch them wrong they break.
