Hi guys:
I have two torn shock boots my 2009 CRV. The suspension is also getting noisy. (Click and a popping sound while turning). Visually, the only damage I see is at the boot.
I plan to keep it for a while and was thinking of changing the front struts out. I'm only at 80k miles.
The plan would be to use the fully loaded struts that swap as a unit. That way I don't have to mess with a spring compressor.
Available options appear to be Monroe, FCS, Detroit Axle (Rockauto and Amazon). I know Bilstein are recommended here, but I don't see the fully loaded option anywhere. (I would prefer OE, but no option there either that I could find.)
Opinions / suggestions requested. Thanks.
