Keep grit away from the polished shaft with the KYB strut bellow SB132, a jounce bumper and bellows kit that helps shield the strut from dirt, dust, sand, salt and other road debris. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1990-2002 Honda Accord, 2003-2019 Toyota Corolla and 2002-2018 Nissan Altima. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. It is cataloged for front and rear strut positions, depending on the application.
Road contaminants cause abrasive wear to the polished shaft, upper seal and bushing. This KYB kit is designed to keep them out by covering the entire strut shaft in a highly durable plastic bellows, which can help extend the life of the strut.
- Protective boot: helps guard the strut shaft against the dirt and debris that can lead to leaks.
- Poly foam bumper: a travel-limiting jounce bumper designed to keep the strut from bottoming out and to shield other components from damage caused by extreme movement.
- Seal and bushing protection: helps keep abrasive contaminants away from the upper seal and bushing.
- OE-level build: KYB states that its design and quality match or exceed OE.
This part is also called a suspension strut bellow. The SB132 is worth inspecting whenever the struts are serviced, because a torn or missing boot leaves the shaft exposed. Signs this part may need replacing include a split, cracked or missing boot, grime built up on the strut shaft, or a worn or crumbling bumper.
