- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep them performing as designed by maintaining intended suspension behavior.
KYB notes its strut bodies and brackets are among the strongest and thickest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment.
