Installation Notes and Tips
Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the vehicle. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5403, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB104, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. The compressed length is 11.77 inches, extended length is 18.11 inches, and stroke length is 6.34 inches.
