Having dropped my front suspenders (+2"springs & +5" shocks)

I notice that on full articulation, there is a large gap along the spline, so I obviously need some form of boot rather than that plastic cap.

Does anyone know of something that fits?

plastic cap works perfectly in my experience.no need for a gaitor if one wasn't put on in the first place

Well - this doesnt look right to me - and this is without the axle dropped fully. Unless the wrong prop has been fitted on to the car.....

If you do want a gaiter for it buy a couple of cheap motorcycle ones for the front forks, wide range of sizes (and colours if that's your thing)

cap wont go over main prop end. will try again tomoz - but with longer articulation, maybe a gaiter - lets face it, £3.75 isnt going to break the bank - might be an investment...
It looks like water has got in there already.
