These covers, they’re basically flexible boots that slide over the shock absorber shaft and protect it. They keep out dirt, dust, road salt, water – anything that could cause corrosion or damage the seals inside the strut. They flex with the movement of the suspension, keeping the internal parts clean. Think of it this way – your strut is a pretty important part of controlling the ride and handling of your car. The dust cover isn’t doing the suspension work, but it’s protecting the parts that are. It slides up and down with the strut as it compresses and extends, acting like a shield against the elements. It keeps the piston and seals clean and smooth so the strut can do its job properly. Well, if these covers tear or get damaged, all that grime gets inside. That wears out the seals, and once those go, your strut will start leaking fluid. Leaking fluid means reduced performance, a bumpy ride, and eventually, you’re looking at replacing the entire strut assembly. Replacing a strut is significantly more expensive and time – consuming than just replacing a dust cover. You’ll notice if one’s gone bad usually; you might see oil leaking down the strut body. Sometimes they just crack and get brittle over time. You can find these kits pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online have a good selection, and they’re a relatively inexpensive way to extend the life of your struts and keep your ride smooth.
