SB101 - Strut Boot

People are freaking out because this boot is harder plastic, rather than being rubber, but so far (2 years) it's lasted really well and fits better than the original rubber one did. I think it's an improvement over the classic rubber design-- just flexible enough to work well, instead of flopping all over the place like an old sock... :)

I used two of these boots on my Mazda Rx8 front McPherson struts. I used them with Bilstein struts, I cut the OEM boot off right at the taper below the Suspension support/ head, and fed this boot into and on the new strut, it fit perfectly. The bump stop that came with this boot seemed to have a better constitution than the one from Bilstein so I used it instead.

Dust boot is good quality soft rubber but dimensions off

Muy buena el plastico

This "KYB SB101 Boot and Bump Stop Kit" comes with (1) plastic dust boot and (1) poly bump stop. The dust boot flexes well and the bump stop fits snugly inside the dust boot. I have used KYB struts and shocks as replacements on my personal vehicles for years and have always been impressed with the ride quality and length of service. I highly recommend. Tip: To install the bump stop and dust boot together, hold the bump stop in one hand with the flat side against your palm, compress the dust boot (Side with inner ridge) over the tapered end of the bump stop and use your index finger inside the compressed boot to push the ridge of the boot over the end of the bump stop.

I'm not sure if this is for the front or the back strut/dust boots, but I have installed both front bellows and I KNOW that the KYB dust boots are The top of the pyramid when it comes to quality. They protect and keep the piston clean, keeping out contaminates that will eventually etch their way into the metal. KYB has proved the smoothest ride I've ever experienced without actually buying a brand new cadillac or towncar. Yeah, any KYB product is THE BoMB baby(compared to any competator)!!! Dominating the scene, the whole kit and kaboodle-the whole enchalada, amigios! , I'd like to say, KYB products are THE BEST! Thank you for all that you are. UPDATE: 5.4.15 SO I just glanced up on my shelf and the damn part(S) are still waiting for me to install them. I think I was going to wait to purchase brand new back KYB AGX's, but it seems like I've been distracted doing something else. Believe me, when you haven't lifted a finger on a car for ten to fifteen years, incredable isn't it?, you suddenly become very backed up with general preventative maintanance conundrums...money is so hard to hold onto during the first weekend after payday, as do the bears go poop in the woods?? Of course they do and yes I am out of money by the following Monday....man, no wonder why I can't focus....it's those fumes from the fuel filter I just r & r'd an hour or so ago...

“This boot is not the correct part for the rear struts on a 2005–2011 Toyota Avalon. I had to pay out of pocket to return the item, and EZ Automotive has still not issued my refund. I’ve been working with Amazon for almost two months trying to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, my experience with EZ Automotive has been very frustrating, and I do not recommend purchasing from them.”

These Strut boots do not fit KYB 341366/341367 front struts. The catalog says these are the ones but are incorrect. ..I made them fit by doing an alteration on the top side of the boot and securing it with silicone adhesive ...Very unprofessional , but it works....The alteration added nearly 1.5 hours to the installation of the replacement struts... Otherwise the Boots are well built ,but not for may car...My advice: Find the the correct Strut Boot for your application.

This is a universal fit part, so don't expect OEM fit and finish. Used on my 2004 Focus SVT with the Ford Racing suspension kit. It does fit, however not as tight as the OEM around the struts. Quality is decent.

funciona perfecto para lo que es. el plastico espero que sure mucho .

These do not work with 8th gen Honda civic (2006-2011) despite it saying they will. There is no way to attach them to the upper strut mount/top hat.
