The kit is designed to suit struts with an 18mm shaft and offers an affordable way to protect a valuable suspension component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart reference: BOOTKIT18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits: 18mm strut shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: strut dust boot kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the shaft diameter and boot length against your existing strut before ordering. Fitting usually requires removing the strut and using a spring compressor, so professional installation is recommended. Replace boots whenever new struts are fitted, or as soon as splits or tears are noticed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways follow the vehicle manufacturer's service schedule and fitting instructions, and have the work carried out by a qualified technician if you are not confident doing it yourself. If you are unsure about fitment, send us your vehicle registration, make, model and year before ordering and we will help you confirm the right part. Pairing this part with a general inspection of the surrounding components is good practice, as related parts often wear at a similar rate. Workshops can order with confidence for customer vehicles, and private owners can tackle routine maintenance knowing the part is made to suit the job. Buying the correct part the first time saves on labour, avoids repeat jobs and gets the vehicle back to work sooner. Our team is happy to answer questions about specifications, compatibility or ordering in larger quantities for fleet and workshop use. Stocked in New Zealand and dispatched quickly, so your vehicle spends less time off the road. Keeping a spare on the shelf is a sensible move for workshops, fleet operators and home mechanics who would rather not wait on parts. Store spare parts in a cool, dry place in their original packaging until they are needed. Every part is checked against its part number before dispatch, so what arrives matches what you ordered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57615315632200,"sku":"BOOTKIT18","price":59.4,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/BOOTKIT18.png?v=1793756665","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/bootkit18-code9-strut","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
