KYB Suspension Strut Bellows P/N:SB169

Guard your rear strut against grit and grime with the KYB strut bellows SB169, a jounce bumper and bellows kit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). It sleeves the entire strut shaft in a durable plastic bellows to keep dirt, dust, sand, salt and other road debris away from the polished shaft, upper seal and bushing — the contaminants that cause abrasive wear — which can help extend the life of the strut.

• Full-length plastic bellows: covers the entire strut shaft to block dirt, dust, sand, salt and road debris from reaching the polished shaft.
• Poly foam travel-limiting bumper: the included jounce bumper is designed to keep the strut from bottoming out and to protect other components from extreme-movement damage.
• Seal and bushing protection: the boot helps shield the upper seal and bushing from leak-causing dirt and debris.
• OE-level build: designed and built to match or exceed original-equipment design and quality.

Installed at the rear position on the listed application, this KYB kit provides the factory-style protection your strut relies on.
