Detailed Description

KYB SB179 is a suspension strut bellows kit built for the front right position on 2014-2020 Acura MDX vehicles. By enclosing the exposed strut shaft, it helps keep contaminants away from critical wear surfaces and supports longer service life for the strut assembly. The included foam bumper adds an extra layer of protection during suspension compression events. This part number, SB179, is a direct service item for Acura MDX front right strut protection needs.

What It Helps Address

• Strut shaft wear caused by dirt and road debris
• Seal and bushing damage from abrasive contamination
• Suspension noise related to worn protective components
• Impact damage from excessive suspension travel
• Premature strut deterioration on Acura MDX front right applications

Installation Notes

Install on the front right strut assembly only for the listed Acura MDX fitment. Inspect the strut, mount, and surrounding suspension components before installation, and replace worn parts as needed. Verify the bellows and bumper are seated correctly so the boot can move through suspension travel without binding. Part number SB179 should be matched to the vehicle position before service.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for suspension-focused OE-style replacement parts, and the Boot Kits line is built to support protection of exposed strut components. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
