Rear Shock Boots

Post by REman »

Hi All,

Last week I noticed my rear shock rubber boots have disintegrated, literally and have crumbled off on one side. I have Boge shocks that are close to 20 years old but still good as they don't leak and still provide a good ride (no rocking or clunking).

My question is can I use KYB-SB107 boots and covers on a Boge shock? Have not been able to locate and specific to my Boge shock number (I'm guessing discontinued).
'81 528i... mfg date 10/80...owned since 1990

As you have to remove the shocks to replace the covers, maybe a trip to the local auto parts counter will offer some kind of brand comparison.

Or, web parts sources often have pretty good photos for a visual guess fit comparison.
