Re: Front Suspension Rubber Boot
I am assuming you mean the covering over the strut post ?

Re: Front Suspension Rubber Boot
It is mainly there to protect the strut post and top seal from the crud of mud, dust and salt water from damaging the surface.
A road run should be fine as it is.
Replacement is not as easy as you would like due to having to drop the strut and remove the top tap. This also means the spring will be uncompressed.
There might be 3rd party replacements which can be "wrapped around" and taped without removal of the strut but I have not tried to find them or used them.
I replaced mine when I changed the struts for new ones.
