Steering Components50+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCEOE suspension manufacturer KYB has commenced the global release of ‘in-demand’ replacement steering components to the automotive aftermarket industry. Supported by KYB’s 50+ years of designing and manufacturing steering components for OE customers, this extensive experience has enhanced the development and quality of the KYB aftermarket range.Strut KitsKYB Strut Kits sectionBooking 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.Shock AbsorbersORIGINAL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENTKYB is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of shock absorbers, supplying around 50 million original equipment shocks annually to world leading vehicle manufacturers. Today, 1 in 2 cars in Japan, and 1 in 5 passenger and light commercial vehicles in the world are leaving the production line fitted with KYB shock absorbers.
KYB Shock Absorbers also manufactures a range of original equipment heavy commercial shock absorbers for leading Japanese brands.PERFORMANCE UPGRADEKYB responds to a broad range of car suspension needs with the advanced technologies only a manufacturer specialising in shock absorbers can provide.

50+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
OE suspension manufacturer KYB has commenced the global release of ‘in-demand’ replacement steering components to the automotive aftermarket industry.
Supported by KYB’s 50+ years of designing and manufacturing steering components for OE customers, this extensive experience has enhanced the development and quality of the KYB aftermarket range.
Control Arms
Control arms, also known as wishbones, are critical components in a vehicle’s front suspension system. They guide the wheel without bearing the vehicle’s weight and allow for vertical movement as the wheel moves up and down in response to the road surface. These components are key to maintaining vehicle stability, providing precise steering, and ensuring smooth handling. Control arms are the direct connection between the vehicle’s front wheel assembly and the frame, allowing the wheels to stay in position while managing forces from external impacts. Vehicles can have both upper and lower control arms or just lower ones, depending on the suspension design.
Stabilizer Links
Stabilizer links, also known as sway bar links or anti-roll bar links, are vital components that connect the vehicle’s anti-roll bar to the suspension, helping to reduce body roll during cornering. By linking the left and right wheels, the anti-roll bar works to keep the car level and maintain control, especially during turns. In vehicles with a McPherson strut layout, the stabilizer link connects the shock absorber to the anti-roll bar, while in double wishbone systems, it connects to the lower control arm. Stabilizer links play a crucial role in car safety by minimizing body roll and weight transfer, ensuring better stability and road grip.
Steering Rack Ends
Rack ends, also known as inner tie rods, are crucial components in a vehicle’s steering system. They connect the steering rack to the outer tie rod ends, transmitting the driver’s input from the steering wheel to the wheels, enabling precise left and right movements.
Ball Joints
Ball joints are essential components of a vehicle’s suspension system, located within the control arm at the front of the vehicle. They serve as pivot points, connecting the wheel and steering knuckle to the vehicle’s frame. Ball joints allow the wheels to move left and right while enabling the lower control arm to move up and down, facilitating smooth suspension movement and steering.
Tie Rod Ends
Tie rod ends are essential components of a vehicle’s steering system, playing a key role in translating the driver’s steering input to the wheels. A typical tie rod assembly consists of two parts: the inner (rack end) and the outer (tie rod end). The tie rod end connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle, enabling the wheels to turn in response to the driver’s commands. It also absorbs road bumps and vibrations, ensuring smooth handling and stability. The tie rod end features a threaded shaft on one side, connecting to the inner tie rod, while the other side houses a ball joint that attaches to the steering knuckle, allowing both horizontal and vertical movement of the wheels.
