KYB Shocks & Struts 13-15 Subaru XV Crosstrek Strut Boot Rear

If you're working on the rear suspension of your 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, this KYB Strut Boot Kit is a smart addition. Its main job is to keep the strut shaft clean and protected from all the nasty stuff kicked up from the road – think dirt, dust, sand, and salt. These contaminants can really wear down the polished shaft and seals over time, leading to premature strut failure. This durable plastic bellows covers the entire strut shaft, acting as a barrier to keep those harmful elements out and help your struts last longer.

Beyond just keeping things clean, this kit also includes a poly foam travel-limiting bumper. This bumper is designed to prevent the strut from bottoming out during hard impacts, which can cause damage to the strut itself and other suspension components. It’s a simple but effective way to add an extra layer of protection and ensure your suspension works as intended.
