strut boots

[froggy]

Hi, my series1 Xantia. I have just sourced two strut tops, there were no rubber boots with them. can I buy new boots from a " motor factor " or is this a Citroen" only" product. The strut tops I have just sourced from a breakers, so Iam hoping I can still buy the rubber boots ? many thanks Terry.

when i bought a pair of new srut tops a few years ago for my daughters old XANT,
we were advised by the dealers parts man that we would require the strut boots as well, as the new tops have a slightly different diameter neck ( were the boot attaches ) to the early strut tops
