Strut boot twisted

WANoneone · 01-20-2024, 10:12 PM

Good evening everyone. Just noticed the strut boots of both side twisted or squeezed like this. Is it normal or needed to be fixed? I saw some suspension changing videos and their strut boots are nice and straight, so i am concerned about it. Car is brand new just picked up two weeks ago and 400kms with it.

That's pretty normal. They're just a cheap way to keep dust out of your shocks. Unless they're a tear on them or they're severely scrunched up, don't worry about it.

Same on mine here in Aus. Wonder if it’s when they fish the spacers out..
