🔧 KYB SB108 - Strut Boot: Ultimate Protection in Sleek Black Design Review

I wish I could give this item zero stars. I ordered these for the back of my 2006 Honda CRV. THEY DO NOT FIT! According to the instructions, the bellows will not "slip” over the rack body.

The strut body is at least 1/4 inch larger in diameter than the inside diameter of the boot. I emailed KYB customer service and Troy Horns said use some soapy water and the fender…

If you are familiar with NA Miata (91-97) suspensions, you know that the OEM suspension uses a solid rubber bumper and rubber bellows that are one piece .

We purchased these for use with KYB 344611 Excel-G Gas Struts on a 2003 Honda Element. KYB SB108 Strut Covers and KYB 344611 Excel-G Gas Springs are listed as suitable for this vehicle. The KYB bellows decklid did not fit the KYB pillar as the KYB instructions suggested. We were able to compress it according to the instructions but it didn't fit the rack body so it interfered with the movement of the rack shaft. We could turn it upside down to fit the torso, but then it would just fall off and…
