Searching for TEMS shock boots

[vdragonmpc]

This is just getting stupid.

I have been all over the internet, my local dealers, parts stores (no the KYB boot kit cant be used on a TEMS strut)

My boots/bumpstop on the rear are gone, dust even.

I went to the dealer and he couldnt get them supposedly. I went to an import guy across town and fell for the KYBs (they are too small in diameter)

Where can I buy this elusive rubber part? Every online dealer states 'excludes adjustable suspension'...

GRRRRRRRRRR

Please god help.... This is frustrating as all get out...

Talk to Jeff Watson...he's into Supras. If he can't get it, you might be out of luck.

why not switch to some KYB shocks?

Probably because his struts are still good, and boots are FAR cheaper than new struts.

+10 from me to Jeff Watson at Champion.... Great guy and didnt mind sending me off to another parts department to get the part I needed once he found it... In Brooklyn Park Minn....


Advice to folks with the TEMS... Save the money and go with non-adjustable. This is wayyyyy to much grief. If you go to some dealers they will tell you (and they are really not being bad) that toyota discontinued the part... You can then begin a nationwide hunt....
Junkyards may have them...

The KYB boot I got from BAP/Goen did NOT work it is too small for the top bearing mount... It will just fall when the strut is installed... (Yes you could jam the strut in the middle but thats just not the right way)

Mine were dust.... And its a 91 imagine the older years....
