Default shock help...anyone with pictures

well...my suspension has been squeeking all day...and i was like...****...i messed somthing up when i did my rear disc swap..so i get home and i pin down the squeek to the driver side rear, jack up the car, and take the wheel off...and aparently my shock is cracked...like missing a piece of it..my mom took my camera so I cannot take a picture but it probably started when i had to put spring spacers in....

imo i would choose kyband yea it would be a good idea to replace all four just in case, u dont have to but its like u wouldnt change just one brake disc and pads u want to change all of them just because. srry i make sound so confusing but just change all 4 good luck

Um, I think you just cracked the dust boot? It looks like there is a big chunk taken out of that, but the shock itself might e OK>

ya looks like its just the dust boot cover, not a big deal. unless ur shocks are leaking and u can feel them going out, its not a big deal. i'd just cut the boot in half or take it out all together..
