Probably only my bad explanation.. (I don't have english as my native
language)

You know the upper spring seat? The rubber boot is supposed to sit on
the outside of the egde in the "hole", stretching it a bit so it won't
fall down. In addition, you should have a plastic ring below the shock
retaining nut. The lower part should be stretched onto this. That way,
the whole shock and retaining nut should sit inside the boot, sealed..
