LR: "Sure we can do the boots only, but we recommend doing the whole strut"
Me: Based on what, is the strut damaged or worn?
LR: No, basically we recommend it based on the mileage. Your strut looks fine, we just recommend doing the whole thing at that mileage.
Me: How much is the boot only? Will it solve the issue?
LR: Certainly. It's $600.
Me: Then do the boot only. As a matter of fact, change them on BOTH sides.

Is it me? It pays to do research. Thanks for the help. You've saved me a BUNDLE.
