I have a full front and rear shock/strut replacement planned for my sport suspension e90. With the help of this forum, I have a good idea about what shock/strut-related small parts would be good to replace on my 120k mile ride (shock mounts, bump stops, spring pads, etc.).
Being located in a desert environment where heat, dust and lack of moisture are issues, I am wondering:
1] Short of doing a lot more in-depth replacements like bushings, what would some good preventative maintenance be to do with good access to suspension components during shock & strut replacement?
I'm already considering giving anything rubber a spray down with AT-205 reseal:
.
2] Is there anything available that offers better dust protection for the shocks and struts than the factory bellows (front) and dust sleeves (rear)?
