Torn strut dust boots
Has anyone ever swapped their dust boots?
Doing the brakes and noticed a few tears.
Tried going the duct tape route with poor results.

its equal to dismantling totally the front suspension, to replace that boot. I am sure by now your bump stop would have been shaved down or turn much to dust.

Excellent detailed (and beautiful) post!
Not giving me any problems so far but will budget for the inevitable.
In the meantime its back to the duct tape!

Are you sure you're in the right forum? Those don't look like W212 struts to me. You can get aftermarket strut boot covers on the W212.
