SB103

Overview:

The KYB Shocks and Struts Strut Boots are essential protective components designed to safeguard your vehicle’s suspension system. Specifically engineered for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Lexus, and Saturn models spanning from 1984 to 2016, these boots serve as durable covers for your struts, preventing dirt, debris, and moisture from damaging the internal shock absorber components. If your original boots or bumpstops are missing, cracked, or worn out, replacing them with these KYB parts ensures continued suspension performance and longevity.

These boots are ideal for vehicle owners performing suspension maintenance or shock absorber replacement. While the original boots are typically reused during strut service, installing new boots during a shock or strut replacement is a practical upgrade that helps maintain optimal suspension health and protects your investment.

Key Features:

Designed with precision and durability in mind, KYB strut boots offer the following benefits:

• Direct fit for Chrysler 300 (2005–2016), Dodge Challenger (2008–2012), Charger (2006–2016), Magnum (2005–2008), Mini Ram (1984–1985), Lexus GS300 (1996–2005), IS300 (2001–2005), SC300 (1992–2000), Saturn L300 (2001–2005), and LW300 (2001–2003)
• Protects strut shafts from dirt, dust, and moisture to prevent premature wear
• Includes bumpstops to absorb impact and prevent suspension damage under heavy loads
• Compatible with both older and updated boot designs, ensuring proper fit and function
• Manufactured by KYB, a trusted name in suspension components with a reputation for quality
• Easy to install during routine strut or shock absorber replacement
• Helps maintain smooth suspension operation and ride comfort

Construction & Design:

KYB strut boots are crafted from high-quality, flexible rubber compounds engineered to withstand harsh road conditions and environmental exposure. The materials resist cracking, tearing, and degradation caused by heat, cold, and contaminants. The bumpstop integrated within the boot assembly is designed to compress under heavy suspension travel, cushioning impacts and protecting the shock absorber’s internal components from damage.

The product includes two styles of boots: the original design and an improved version that manufacturers have introduced over time. Both styles meet strict fitment and performance standards, ensuring reliable protection regardless of which version is supplied.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward for anyone performing strut or shock absorber service. Typically, the original boots and bumpstops are removed and reused; however, it is highly recommended to replace them if they show signs of wear or damage. Since the suspension components must be disassembled to replace shocks or struts, slipping on new boots during this process adds minimal labor while providing significant long-term benefits.

No modifications are necessary as these boots are designed for direct fitment on the specified vehicle models. Proper installation ensures a secure fit that maintains the integrity of your suspension system.

What's Included:

• Front and rear strut boots
• Integrated bumpstops
• Complete set compatible with listed vehicle applications

Ideal For:

This product is perfect for automotive enthusiasts, mechanics, and vehicle owners who want to maintain or restore their suspension system’s durability and performance. It is especially useful for those replacing shocks or struts on Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Charger, Magnum, Mini Ram, Lexus GS300, IS300, SC300, and Saturn L300/LW300 models within the specified year ranges. Ensuring your strut boots are in good condition helps preserve ride quality and protects costly suspension components from premature failure.
