Question Strut Replacement boots?

Was rotating my tires on my '08 (only 100k miles) and observed the strut boot was petty much trashed.


Does there exist any aftermarket replacement boot, and it so, what's the difficulty factor in performing the R&R?


thanks,


Mark

You have to pull the strut and disassemble it to change the boot. So same level as changing the struts. If you haven't changed them I would just go ahead and do it at that mileage.

I realize that for OEM boots. I was wondering if there were any aftermarket which didn't require strut removal. That's a huge PITA that I don't want to deal with - been there, done that.
