I need shocks for 1987 300 zx with dust cover, any suggestions? They do not have the factory rubber boot.

 

Welcome to ZDriver!

Are you asking for advice on which to buy? How to replace them? What do to?

You're only limited to the $$$ in your bank account. What will the car be used for and how do you want it to ride? Will it be on the track? Want a stiff or soft ride?

Help us help you...

 

I have a 1987 300zx z31 that i need new rear shocks on. They don`t have the dust cover and the bushing with them. The owner before me threw out all the pieces. Does anyone know of any places that i can buy the rear shocks with all the parts for around $100. The car will be used for daily driving. I want the ride to be smooth.

 

Advance Auto Parts has rear shocks for as little as $20 each if you are just looking for making it drivable. I can't vouch for the quality of the part of ease of installation though. That doesn't include dust covers, but they are on there too. Just look around on there and get an idea of what you can get for your budget. For a daily driver, I wouldn't go with super high end stuff myself, but probably not the $20 ones either.

 

I am looking at a budget of $50 or so per shock, I can't find shocks with the dust cover. They are all factory with no dust cover. By the time you spend an extra $20 to $25 for factorry dust cover and rubber boot----better to up grade--

 

Hit the junk yards... grab dust covers, install on the shocks / struts of your choice, done.

Why do you need dust boots? Do you plan on taking it through the Dakar rally or something?

 

Buy the dust covers new from Nissan then.

 

KYB also sells them
