- Triple-lip fluid seal: Reduces 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.
- Strong, thick body and brackets: Minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5260) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting the new strut from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB112). This is a KYB-recommended OEM replacement strut and the preferred choice of professional technicians.
