ABSTRACT:
A protective accordion configured tubular boot has one end fixedly secured to and sealed about the cylinder of a shock absorber and the boot extends upwardly about a plunger protruding from the cylinder. The other end of the boot includes an inwardly extending radial flange having a plurality of circular concentric ridges disposed on opposed sides. An outwardly radially extending channel fixedly secured proximate the end of the plunger receives the radial flange to form a floating vented seal at the other end of the boot to prevent particulate matter and liquids from entering the boot.
