Construction & Design

The KYB Rear Strut Boot Kit features a robust design utilizing high-quality plastic bellows that are both flexible and resilient. The bellows are engineered to expand and contract with the suspension movement without cracking or tearing, providing long-lasting protection. The inclusion of a poly foam bumper adds an extra layer of defense against bottoming out and impact damage, especially on rough roads or during aggressive driving.

The boots are precisely molded to match the OEM specifications for Volkswagen Golf models from 2015 to 2020, ensuring a perfect fit and seal. This attention to detail guarantees that contaminants are effectively kept out, and the internal components remain clean and well-lubricated. The overall design emphasizes durability, ease of installation, and compatibility with existing suspension parts, making it a reliable upgrade or replacement component for your vehicle's rear suspension system.

Simply remove the old, damaged boots and replace them with the new KYB boots, ensuring a secure fit over the strut shafts.
