Same question here. My dust boots are in bad condition! I'm finding them on eBay for about 85 bucks a pair. You have to be careful searching, make sure they're ABC dust boots, and not airmatic boots.

Not sure about keeping the ABC system, though. Top bushings are coming apart on both front struts. I may just go ahead and put a conventional set of replacements on the car.

I'll stay with ABC regardless I have my own shop with lifts so getting it done will not be that hard.

From the photo it would appear that they need to be installed from the top?
