What does a strut boot do?

A strut boot acts as a protective cover for the strut shaft and seal. It keeps out dirt, dust, sand, and other road debris that can cause abrasive wear and shorten the strut's lifespan.

What is the purpose of the included foam bumper?

The poly foam travel-limiting bumper is designed to prevent the strut from bottoming out during heavy compression. It also helps protect other suspension components from damage that can occur during extreme movements.

Do these boots come with new struts?

No, this product is for the strut boot kit only. It includes the protective bellows and the travel-limiting bumper to be installed on your existing rear struts.

Product Details

KYB is known for making reliable suspension components, and their strut boot kits are no different. If you're working on the rear suspension of your 2002-2005 Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer, these strut boots are a smart addition. They act like a protective shield for your struts, keeping out all the nasty stuff like dirt, dust, sand, and road salt that can really wear down the polished shaft and seals.

These boots are made from a durable plastic bellows that covers the entire strut shaft. This simple barrier can make a notable difference in how long your struts last. Plus, each kit comes with a poly foam travel-limiting bumper. This bumper is designed to prevent the strut from hitting its absolute limit, which can save other suspension parts from damage caused by extreme movements.
