Is the upper spring cushion part of the strut boot on front struts?

[green94camry]

Hey everybody havent posted in awhile


I am replacing all 4 struts and mounts on my 94 V6 LE. I have all the parts for the rears and most for the front. For the fronts I have the struts, the mounts and the bumbers. The lower spring seats look good so I'll just transfere those to the new struts. But I am not sire about the upper spring seat? Is the upper spring seat/cushion part of the boot that covers the strut rod piston?? I have done a search and cant verify. In the manual the picture looks like the boot has the upper spring cusion integrated into it, but it could be a seperate piece? Is the upper spring seat/cusion part of the boot that covers the piston?? This boot is also called a bellows. Thanks for any input on this, I'll be doing the job this weekend and want to have the right parts, my strut bumpers are still good so it's the bellows/boot I need and the upper spring cushion if in fact it is a seperate piece. Where to buy also. thanks again

For the front, the rubber boot/bellow is seperate from the upper seat.

Just want to let you guys know that on the 94 V6 camry's the strut boot has the upper spring cusaion molded in as one piece and there is no upper bearing plate or bearing. This changed in 1995 where the boot is a seperate piece and the upper spring cushion is part of the bearing plate as 95 on up have an upper strut mount bearing. So if you have a 94 you dont need an upper bearing or bearing plate, just the boot with molded in upper spring seat.
