Ask The Expert- Dust covers

I have dust covers on my Bilstein 5100's . Are those really necessary? Mine keep coming off and observing if they are worth the effort to fix. Plus I don't like the way they look. Thoughts?

They are there to stop the shafts from getting nicked and to keep dirt and grime off the seals. Downside is that they will also trap dirt and grime against the shaft ones it gets in the boots. You might want to check with Bilstein about their warranty requirements. I want to say they used to require them to be installed so they would honor the warranty.
