Product Details

KYB Strut Boots are built to cover the exposed strut shaft and keep contaminants away from critical suspension surfaces. On a Subaru XV Crosstrek, rear right strut protection matters because debris and moisture can accelerate wear on the shaft finish, seal, and bushing. The SB169 strut boot kit also includes a foam bumper that limits travel and helps protect suspension components from damage during extreme movement or bottoming out. KYB SB169 is a practical replacement choice when servicing the rear right suspension on 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek models.

What It Helps Address

• Strut shaft wear from road debris
• Seal damage caused by dirt and grit
• Bushing wear from contamination
• Impact damage from excessive suspension travel
• Bottoming-out stress on nearby components

Installation Notes

Verify rear right position before installation and inspect the strut shaft, seal area, and surrounding suspension parts for wear. Replace the boot when the original bellows is cracked, torn, or missing. For best results, install during strut service so the shaft and bumper can be checked together. Part number SB169 is the correct reference when ordering for the listed Subaru XV Crosstrek applications.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a suspension-focused brand known for OE-style replacement components. SB169 follows that approach with a protective boot and travel bumper built for the listed application.
