You shouldn't need any of them, but reality (and past experience) dictates that having them on hand would be prudent!

I wish I had all those items up front, when I participated in dropping 3 CLs. Each one had at least one bolt break, and 2 needed new bushings. However, none need new boot kits.



EDIT: But then again, your in Dallas. The 3 I worked on had been through several winters (road salt, and rusted bolts).

Well i got no boot on mine just remember to put the bump stops on or else the shock will blow.

wat the heck is bump stops?

A bump stop is a rubber part that goes between the shaft of the strut and the mount to keep the strut from bottoming out.

They're hard rubber pieces that fit on the shock piston to keep it from compressing too far into the shock body and blowing. In other words, it keeps the car from bottoming out and blowing the shock(s).
