Product Details

KYB Strut Boots are built to protect the polished shaft, upper seal, and bushing from contamination that can accelerate wear. By covering the strut shaft with a durable bellows, SB171 helps keep debris away from critical suspension surfaces. The included foam bumper adds protection against extreme suspension movement and impact from bottoming out. This KYB Strut Boot kit is a direct-fit service part for rear suspension use on the listed Ford Fusion and Ford SSV Plug-In Hybrid applications.

Common Issues It Can Help Address

• Road debris reaching the strut shaft and seal area
• Premature wear from dirt, dust, sand, or salt exposure
• Damage from repeated bottoming-out events
• Suspension noise or harshness related to worn protective components
• Reduced protection on rear struts during daily driving

Installation Notes

Install on the rear strut assembly only for the listed applications. Verify wheel size notes for 2017-2020 Ford Fusion models, since 19 inch wheels are excluded. Inspect the strut, seal, and bushing condition before installation, and replace worn suspension components as needed during service.
