Do i need this strut boot for the complete Sensen Shock Struts (i.e both the front and the rear)?

welll if you do not use it--- dust, oil, water , will render your strut useless in about 1 year or less ,, for $$$$$ real keep shopping around kyb quality is good for strut boots so is much cheaper standard auto other brand names

Yeah you need them with out um you'll blow the struts in no time because they'll be open to the dirt this scratching the rod enough to blow the seals

On our Subaru, there were boots on both the front and rear. Use new boots, they are cheap, I found a torn boot on one of the originals. They are going to protect the shaft from dirt and damage.

Absolutly. Most strut/spring combo needs alignment. Dont need to ask make/model as a quick strut always needs alignment. They are easy to put on even for a beginner. Good Luck and let me know if there is anything else we can help with.

Negative, this kit is strictly for the rear suspension, it does come Fully with spring and shock, just like factory, however shorter

Shocks/struts should always be replaced in pairs. However, the price listing is per shock/strut. I paid $106 per strut.

nothing comes with the strut. I found my old bushings to be better quality and used them.

this is the Passenger side but Shock/Strut should always be replaced in pairs

Front Shock. Rears are different. Use the Look Up Make and Model, will help. Cheers. Ken.

No. Those are for the front. Do what I did, go to Monroe.com to verify the right part numbers for the shocks you want.

These shocks are only for the rear of the vehicle. They are a far superior replacement for the original OEM shocks. I have been riding on them for the last 16K miles and they are excellent. Your front shocks are considered strutts. If you plan to replace them purchase the entire strutt and spring assembly with the top rubber seating ring. It is much cheaper to replace the entire assembly then have someone remove the old spring and mount it to a new shock. If you need additional information on the front assembly have amazon contact me again and I will get the part number and pricing for you. If you do so, please provide the vehicle model year, make and engine. Thank you and I hope this helps. These shocks are only for the rear of the vehicle.

The boot is sized to the specific KYB strut/shock for the application. Many (most?) times there is a different strut for all four corners of your vehicle, and two corresponding boots that are different for the front and rear of the car. The factory application is likely to use a similar boot. If I were to replace my struts again, I might use an aftermarket, universal fit boot rather than the KYB part. Check the KYB website for your specific application and also for rebates. I found an unexpected $40 rebate after the fact. Also, be careful when you search for deals using the KYB part numbers as many unscrupulous manufacturers or dealers use the KYB part numbers as to confuse you into buying their parts. No biggy for boots, but a BIG deal for shocks/struts. Good luck!

In simple terms, absolutely yes. When you change the front end parts, you always get an alignment to make sure everything is right. Struts are no different. I got one when I put mine on and it was evident it needed it after replacing them.

Yes mine came with the boot but the top nut wasn't the right one so I have to use the old nut from my original shock. Also the shock came in a another box and you can here it just lose in there they didn't bother to put a paper or padding.

Struts are used for the front of the truck. Shocks are used on the rear. They are different in appearance and description.

Yes rear air shocks only if you buy kit comes with everytjing you need to bypass electronic dampening with instructions front shocks are just regular shocks

The shock connection has to match your vehicle, specifically the width. If this matches you'll have no trouble installing these.

It's not specifically a front or rear. It depends on the diameter and stroke of the strut you are shielding. Match the boot to your strut.
