Product Details

The KYB Strut Boots product line is made for drivers who want to keep suspension components cleaner and better protected in daily road conditions. Part number SB142 uses a durable plastic bellows to cover the strut shaft and reduce exposure to contaminants that can damage seals and bushings over time.
