These are basically protective boots, made of a durable rubber, that slide over your shock absorbers. They cover the piston rod and the seals. Their main job is to keep dirt, dust, water, road salt and other nasty stuff out. They also keep the lubricant in the shock absorber. Think of it like a shield for the important working parts. Your shock absorbers are obviously a key part of your suspension, right? They control how the spring compresses and rebounds. The bellows aren't directly responsible for absorbing the bumps, but they protect the part that does. Without them, grit gets into the shock, ruins the seals, and you lose that damping ability. It’s a pretty simple part, but it plays a vital role in keeping everything working smoothly. If a bellow cracks or tears, that protection is gone. You’ll notice if one fails because you’ll start getting fluid leaking out – that’s the shock absorber oil. But even before it gets that bad, dirt can start causing damage. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and much cheaper than replacing the whole shock absorber if it gets ruined. You can find them pretty easily online; we actually carry a good selection at Fixparts Online. Ignoring a bad bellow will definitely lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road, like a bouncy ride, poor handling, and ultimately, a failing shock. Buy risk-free: Shock Absorber Bellows (MPN 103364) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
