Do I Need Dust Caps?
 

k so iv been really confused on weather i shoulc put dust caps on my new shocks or not, alot of people tell me it prevent the shocks from leaking in the future.

So i went to honda and orderd dust caps for the front and rear, 2 of them are plastic and the other 2 are metal-ish, makes no sense how it goes on...

now the question is, do i need them? or should i just return them?

what else should i put in besides the springs and the mounts?

i would definately put them on.

here is a pic of the set, 2 of those...

ok so i see how the plastic piece works, but how does the metal one work? im guessing its for the rear shocks?

yeah the straight one is for the rear

should be a metal washer that is about a 1/4 of the way down the shock.. after the threads..it goes washer dust thingy then everything els.. im pretty sure.
