Hello Zip "techno nerd", The rubber boot and white plastic bumper were identical on both Left and Right struts assemblies?

On my struts one bumper was black rubber and the other one was a whitish foam bumper they serve the same purpose(BUMP STOP). I have about 5000 miles on them and have noticed no difference in performance, only time will tell which is better. I am very happy with the performance and the ride. If you are changing the rear struts be sure to check your sway bar mounts and link rods.(clunk and rattle in rear). I have 238,000mi on my Camry. My front sway bar mounts and links were OK.

Good Evening Glenn,You should remove the metal plate and save the screws so you can use them to mount the rubber one.

Yes, it was but the instructions are not very detailed. It's a good bumper after market replacement though.

The boot is sized to the specific KYB strut/shock for the application. Many (most?) times there is a different strut for all four corners of your vehicle, and two corresponding boots that are different for the front and rear of the car. The factory application is likely to use a similar boot. If I were to replace my struts again, I might use an aftermarket, universal fit boot rather than the KYB part. Check the KYB website for your specific application and also for rebates. I found an unexpected $40 rebate after the fact. Also, be careful when you search for deals using the KYB part numbers as many unscrupulous manufacturers or dealers use the KYB part numbers as to confuse you into buying their parts. No biggy for boots, but a BIG deal for shocks/struts. Good luck!

They are the same for right or left. Just remember after installing you will have to have the front end aligned.

they have a different part number for each side. But when installing them they appear to be exactly the same.

John, There is no left and right version of the lift support - the same part fits either side.

this was a rear right only.you have to buy all four different struts if you want to replace all.all have different part numbers.

Yes, you will want to look at the last letter of the strut model number. R is for right and L for left.

There is a strut on each side of the main rear hatch and they are identical (same ordering number).

We got a new bumper for our2000 suburban. It was an exact match but you have to assemble all of the plastic parts on it. If you are mechanically inclined no problem. As far as warranty I do not remember,... but it is a bumper, no moving parts, just a bumper they don't wear out or go bad.

The other answers are correct. The rear struts have a left and right, the front do not.

They are the same for both sides. I do recommend you purchase loaded struts, that would have the spring, and bushing already installed on the strut. Makes the jobs a piece of cake to do .

Yes they are the same. I replaced my old ones also and it all fitted perfectly.

There is no difference in the strut assembly, the difference is on the truck but it will still mount the same no problem.
