You are 'slightly' off... the boot is not supposed to move, and should always remain stationary at the top of the shock rod. The shock body moves along the lower portion of the rod, and only comes into play with the bump stop/boot on extreme impacts/loading (maximum compression). Technically, the lowest edge of the boot may have some slight contact with the top of the shock body but this is only on maximum extension - a feat only acheived on a regular basis by the General Lee or in the case of a Forte being jacked up or on a hoist.
Kia Canada has an 'official' fix... I'm sure the US has sometime similar either existing or in the works.
