This could possibly be a dumb question. I'm looking my car over and trying to do some preventive maintenance. I notice that the passenger side strut boot is torn...nothing terrible...it is torn though. I know it's only purpose is to protect the cylinder from dust/debris. Should this be something I need to worry with replacing? Or is it possible to wait until it's time to replace the struts? Will it shorten the life of the strut?

I'd go with plasticknives' suggestion. I wouldn't bother pulling the strut for the torn boot - the tap ought to be enough.
