Booking in a strut replacement job should be straightforward but be prepared for other hidden surprises. By the time a car has reached 80,000km, strut fluid will have passed through its internal valves over 75 million times, causing gradual wear and deterioration. This means the struts are no longer providing the correct damping force required to keep car tyres safely in contact with the road – negatively affecting braking and steering performance. In addition, a strut operating in a weakened state will also put more stress on other suspension components, effectively reducing their operational lifespan. Replacing the strut, dust boot and bump stop at the same time will allow you to save on labour time and help to avoid further problems- with the kits coming complete with everything you need in the one box.

KYB Protection Kit contains all the components that are required for correct installation, such as a bump stop and protection boot. The bump stop and protection boot are recommended to be replaced at each change of a strut - as they actively safeguard a struts' long-term performance and durability.

A Steering Damper controls the sudden steering wheel movements based on variable adjustments to road conditions. As a OE supplier, KYB Steering Dampers have been designed to maintain optimal steering control for both city and off-road terrain. All KYB Steering Dampers are engineered to decrease wheel shimmy, which reduces tyre wear and steering vibration.
