KYB Suspension Strut Bellows P/N:SB183
Keep your front struts sealed against the elements with the KYB Suspension Strut Bellows SB186, a front-position strut boot kit that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2019-2023 Audi Q3 and 2018-2024 Volkswagen Tiguan (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). Road grit such as dirt, dust, sand, salt and other debris causes abrasive wear to the polished shaft, upper seal and bushing; this kit covers the entire strut shaft in a durable plastic bellows to keep those contaminants out, which can help extend the life of the strut.
If a torn or missing boot has left your strut exposed to road contaminants, this KYB kit restores that protection on the listed applications.
