Question about KYB strut mounts/boots
I went to the kyb website and saw some other products, the strut boots and strut mounts.
http://www.kyb.com/products/ scroll to the bottom Would the kyb mounts be necessary, does it offer any advantage? I read the description, but is that factual info? As for the strut boots, could they be used on the rear shocks as well. My suspension/car gets dirty every week(due to where I work) and if those boots could fit both the shocks/struts that'd be nice. |
RE: Question about KYB strut mounts/boots
I have the KYB strut mounts and boots on my car right now. When I ordered the strut mount, I was expecting the whole strut mount, but really it's just the two rubber bushings, a washer, and the metal tube that goes inside of the two rubber bushings. I don't think the strut mount is necessary.
I have the strut boots too though, and they're great. They're ribbed in such a way that allows them to compress like a spring whenever the struts compress. This keeps you from having to cut the stock strut boot when you lower the car. Yes, the strut boots can be used on the back too. I bought mine from tirerack.com If you look at the strut mount picture you can tell why it could be deceiving. |

thanks, looks like I'll be getting those strut/shock boots :)

are you sure it's only the bushings/washer/metal tube? The picture they have shows the entire mount.

i bought them and they were only the bushings, washer, and metal tube... It has the picture of the whole strut mount but you only receive the hardware/bushings i even mentioned in my previous post how it's deceiving because of the picture... |

when I ordered my AGXs, the rear struts came with a new bumb stops and dust covers. so you won't need to buy boots for the rear. I think its this way for the 96-00 civics
but definetely get them for the front. |

curious... do yours have a knob on the side, or is it at the top of the shock piston?
and the fronts have the adjustment at the top of the piston so that you adjust those in the engine compartment. first pic is front, second is rear http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6...727/741023.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6...727/741024.jpg pictures courtesy of KYB.com |
nice, all four of mine are on the piston
though, i would be scared that a stick would bump the knob |
