For each model, the kit is calibrated to match the exact dimensions of the shock absorber housing, ensuring a snug fit that eliminates gaps where dust could penetrate.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Raise the front or rear axle using a jack, then secure it with jack stands.
2. Remove Existing Covers: If your vehicle already has dust covers, gently pry them off using a flathead screwdriver. Dispose of or recycle the old covers responsibly.
3. Position the New Covers: Align the dust cover with the shock absorber housing. The rubber seal should sit flush against the mounting flange.
4. Secure with Brackets: Slide the provided mounting brackets into place. Tighten the screws until the cover is firmly seated but avoid overtightening to prevent damage.
5. Check Alignment: Verify that the cover sits evenly on both sides of the shock absorber. The seal should be continuous without any gaps.
6. Lower the Vehicle: Carefully lower the vehicle from the jack stands. Inspect the installation one more time to ensure everything remains secure.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the dust covers annually for cracks or wear. Replace any damaged covers immediately to maintain protection.
• Clean the rubber seals with a mild soap solution and a soft brush to remove accumulated grime.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could degrade the polypropylene material.
