KYB GR-2 Problems - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

HEEELLLLLPPPP!!!
I put KYB GR-2's on my '94 Camry last Summer. Now all the Dust-Boot's are broken. It must be the Sub-Zero temp's here in Nebraska or something because they were fine a couple months ago.
What can I replace the torn-part with?? I can't completely replace them because KYB put the bump-stop as the top part of the boot.
This makes me so mad, they were $16 a pop and didn't do the job...

wait so what are you trying to replace? the dust covers? they sell them on tire rack...

I think he was talking about the rubber dust boot and the bump stop. KYB had them together in a piece, in addition to the one already attached to the mounts.

Those dust boots typically don't last, ever, on any suspension setup I've seen. It's no big deal. You can buy them for $14.35+ship (if your total is under $50) from autopartsplace and they come with the bump stops.

Thanks. I'm glad I'm not the only one. However isn't 6-months a little short-lived?? Tokiko owners have the same problem, have to change out their dust-boots annually or semi-annually??

Thanks for the input and help guys.

Most people just let them be. A torn dust boot isn't going to destroy your suspension. It's questionable as to how effective they are to begin with.
