Being stiff, they don't seal the holes well and expose the underside of the stock when the suspension is up (e.g. over bumps). I ended up returning them and reusing the worn out originals as they still seal better than those clumsy hard plastic lids. That's pretty low compared to other KYB products I've purchased in the past.

My tip: find the right strut boot for your application.

I can't comment on the quality of this item as I have never had to use it but be careful with the buyer as you may be better off going to a dealership or having your mechanic get the part for you.

From kyb online catalog sb101 was chosen for my '98 Subaru Legacy Outback. However, the included foam bumper was too thick (tall) to fit enough strut shaft into the top mount. I sawed off about 1 inch with a hacksaw so I could slide the bumper past the narrower top of the stem so the threads protruded over the bracket and allowed the stem to bolt on. Second, the bellows are very thin cheap hard plastic, not the original rubber. I used the SB101 in the first place because the original trunk no…

This "KYB SB101 Boot and Fender Kit" comes with (1) Plastic Dust Cover and (1) Polypropylene Bumper. The dust cover flexes well and the bumper fits snugly against it.
