We purchased a 2007 Mazda BT-50 to tow our caravan. One of the items required for the roadworthy was new shock absorbers so I purchased the cheapest ones I could find on eBay. An issue I found when I received the front ones was they didn’t have top rod covers.
I quite liked the idea of the cover to reduce the amount of dirt getting flicked onto the rod and hopefully make the seal last longer. I looked at cutting the old ones off but looked too hard so I looked through the recycling and found a couple of bottles my daughter had left behind that looked nearly perfect.
I might have to start a business making shock absorber covers 🙂
