installing new tokico struts. new struts did not come with any sort of cover to prevent road grime from reaching the strut shaft.

do new struts need dust covers?

Thanks

My MM coilovers came with dust covers to fit inside the spring!

I reused my stock dust covers and piston bushings with my Tokicos.

Good luck.
