Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / May 2004Boots?
If you get new shocks, is it recommended to change the boots? > If you get new shocks, is it recommended to change the boots? If they're split or cracked, definitely. It's probably a good idea since you've got the shocks off anyway. Mine where in tatters by the time I replaced my shocks.  SignatureGrant Edwards grante Yow! Okay... I'm going at home to write the "I HATE visi.com RUBIK's CUBE HANDBOOK FOR DEAD CAT LOVERS"... Yes, you're going to find they are destroyed anyway. Don't use the Mazda factory boots, order new ones with your shocks from the same manufacturer. Tom 92 Red > If you get new shocks, is it recommended to change the boots? FWIW the boots on my '97 were completely trashed when I replaced the shocks. Also would recommend getting the Mazda boots as the bump stop is integral to the boot, and is different front to back, the other brand items I could find were the same front to back, as the bump stop is part of the spring rate on a Miata I was concerned that other brand shock boots would adversely affect handling. Being an AutoX addict I went with the Mazda boots. > Yes, you're going to find they are destroyed anyway.

Just to let you know the cost of OEM boots, I just picked up front and rear boots from Trussville for my 97's impending KONI installation for $23.16/ea-rear and $23.48/ea-front. SignatureKen Lyons '97 Brilliant Black/'90 Classic Red Inside the Beltway [Remove the first two digits to reply] I think I remember aftermarket boots (IIRC @NAPA) were like $15 ea.
