I noticed that my strut boots are cracked and torn, i plan to replace my struts as soon as the weather allows. Replacement boots carry a very high price for what they are, is it necessary to replace them ?

When mine cracked I did away with them, that has been over 20 years ago and I have not seen any problems. I does cover mud, water and dust, but I do not go mud riding nor I drive it in the rain. It used to drive it every day , not anymore. Hey Where is Dothan? I am about 30 mins from Mobile. We meet from time to ime with several Z car guys here in MS or Mobile. Come and join us some day.

Thanks for the info, Dothan is on the other side SE corner of Al. When i get this old girl road worthy , i might just do that :classic:
