You're missing the shock boots which I believe are sold seperately.

I have never seen KONI shock boots for sale. Yet all the pictures of installation shows a metal boot with KONI logo on it. Has anyone installed KONI shocks and found the same issue?

The front shocks have the metal sleave, the backs don't. I installed them just the way they came.

These are the front shocks
Did you have eye bolts on both ends?

what is the part number on the new shocks?
is it possible that you have the wrong ones for your unit?

My 8805-1004's didn't have any boots- install them and they will be ok.
Just looked and after 3 years-- no rust.

I just had my new Koni's installed today on the front axle of my 43' Monaco Exec and there really was a dramatic difference for the better. No boots, but a lifetime warranty. Had it done at Precision Frame and Alignment in Elk River MN. Rob, the owner, has done hundreds of Konis and I am sure could answer any questions. Ph 763-241-9474. I would have installed the rears also, but they are factory backordered till June.
