🛡️ KYB SB105 Strut Boot: Ultimate Protection for Your Struts! Review

The stand cover slipped easily onto the stand. I had no trouble getting dressed. It seems strong enough to last a long time.

It was difficult to insert the bumper into the trunk. I had to use a hair dryer to loosen the plastic so it could be pulled over the rim and seated, and the bumper locked in the groove. Definitely makes sure that the parts remain correctly positioned

When I ordered them they said they would fit my car but that is not true. I modified the bellows to use them and reused my old fender. I would return them but I'm waiting almost a month to get my correct rack insert due to an error/delivery issue. I hope they work with my improvisation.

I'm definitely a KYB fan but these boots are very poor quality. They crumbled and fell apart after about a year of use. The failure of the shoes eventually caused my new stands to fail after about 5 years due to corrosion. When I replaced the factory frames, the original shoes were intact. Since I was using KYB racks my factory boots could no longer be used or I would have kept them.

Strut boots and firing pins do not match OEM spring case. No force, no heat, no lubrication could make them fit into the housing over the springs. Since my OEM fender (rubber element) was cracked I just took a knife to shave the edges of the KYB to make it fit until I could order an OEM. For the price, I suggest just buying the OEM strut boots/bellows and fenders. These bellows are also shorter than the originals, so have a little less "protection" from dust and dirt.
