1998 V70 Base - Front Suspension Work Topic is solved

[STLV70]

I am replacing control arms, and struts this weekend.
I purchased a strut kit, believing it would be complete, but realized it does not have bump stops
(which I ordered) or boots (which I have not ordered yet). Now, I'm concerned I may be missing more parts, and should delay the repair.
I have the following new products:
Sachs Struts (and associated hardware in the box), strut mount spring seats, strut mount bearings, strut mount washers, strut mount lock nuts.
I have bump stops on order and they will be here by Friday. Do I need boots (bellows) to match the specific bump stop, or could I grab some from an auto parts store that fit v70 struts? Are there other bits that are missing for a strut replacement I should get ordered?

I don't have a visual on my current boots to see if they can be reused, and I am hopeful my springs are still in good enough shape to re-use.

Thanks!

I should have done that. I literally bought a strut kit from the same website, but it did not come with the bump stops or boots.
