Keep road grime off your strut shaft with the KYB strut bellows SB173, a rear strut boot kit that drops in for the 2016-2020 Honda HR-V. It covers the strut shaft in a durable plastic bellows to keep out dirt, dust, sand, salt and other road debris that cause abrasive wear to the polished shaft, upper seal and bushing — helping extend the life of the strut. The kit also includes a poly foam travel-limiting jounce bumper designed to keep the strut from bottoming out and to protect other components from extreme-movement damage.
This is the rear position kit; if a torn or missing boot and worn bumper are letting contaminants reach your strut, this KYB kit replaces them. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full application details.
