KYB Strut Boot for Subaru Impreza Front

Key Features

• Fits 2017-2021 Subaru Impreza, front
• Durable plastic bellows covers the strut shaft to block dirt, dust, sand, salt, and debris
• Helps reduce abrasive wear on the polished shaft, upper seal, and bushing
• Includes a poly foam bumper for travel limiting and bottom-out protection
• KYB Strut Boots line focuses on protecting exposed strut components from contamination
• Part number SB167 for front strut boot replacement on Subaru Impreza applications

Product Details

KYB SB167 is built for front strut protection on the Subaru Impreza. By covering the exposed shaft with a bellows-style boot, it helps keep contaminants away from the sealing surfaces and moving components that are vulnerable to wear. The included foam bumper adds an extra layer of protection during suspension compression, helping reduce damage from extreme movement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Helps Address

• Road debris reaching the strut shaft and seal area
• Premature wear from dirt, dust, salt, and sand
• Damage caused by suspension bottoming out
• Noise or harshness related to exposed strut components
• Reduced service life of front strut assemblies on Subaru Impreza models

Installation Notes

Install on the front strut assembly during strut service or replacement. Inspect the shaft, seal, and surrounding suspension parts before installation, and confirm the boot seats correctly over the strut body and bumper area. For best results, replace worn or damaged boots as soon as contamination or cracking is visible.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies suspension components with an emphasis on OE-style fit and function. SB167 is engineered as a direct front strut boot solution for the listed Subaru Impreza applications.
