As seen with the Napa one on the left.
Should I put My torn one in until I get a proper replacement?

I put the torn boot in. Oh well. I'll try to return them tomorrow. Lesson learned. The forenza had similar issues with the stores having parts listed as compatible. I'm tired and frustrated from wasting money on parts that don't fit.
The clerk was unsympathetic and said if the package was opened, they won't take them back. Ug if they don't, I'm done with Napa. I can even get brake align shims from amazon.

Uh, they listed it as a fit and it wouldn't. That's basically like it being defective (guaranteed to work). I'd talk to the manager.

<---works in retail, thinks that's wrong.

working in the parts business. they should of taking it back defective. lots of parts are getting too universal

[dynonacht]

Bring it back and let them know. The napa I work at has the wrong part as well.

[thesavo]

Thanks for the confidence. I'll do that. Does anyone know what Is the correct part number, Napa, generic, wearever, duralast, etc?
Although, after checking my work due to a mushy peddle, I noticed a small tear in one of the rear piston boots.


Also, too bad the Wagner h8229 boots, thought to work with the 07 foreneza are too big. They're listed as compatible up to a 2002 legacy.

Well I never did get back to that Napa to return the ill fit boots. I did get a couple of non torn boots from a salvage yard
