    I've looked all over the internet for a replacement rear Bilstein 5160 strut boot, with no luck. I tried calling Bilstein, but the number just keeps ringing. Anyone know of a place where I can get a replacement? I wrote down the part number from one boot that is still in good shape: F4-SR1-Z001A05 , Googled that part number and nothing comes up.:(

    bummer, i just threw some away as where i live they do more harm then good.

    edit, you can use almost any boot you want, most off road shops will have them in random colors that you can buy for 10 bucks

    I'm thinking of just removing the other side now.

    Upon closer inspection of the shock body, it seems like its doing more damage to the shock body than helping.

    Where the boot was zip tied it has some corrosion. Looks like it was from the trapped water or dirt. But there is definitely corrosion.

    I will see if I can get some pictures up later today.
