Replacement & Maintenance Guide

Helpful replacement and maintenance guidance for Suspension Strut.

System	Suspension
Description / What It Does	A strut assembly combines a shock absorber with structural suspension support and may include the spring, mount, and bearing. Worn struts affect ride control, steering feel, braking stability, and tire wear.
Replace / Inspect Guidance	Inspect every 12,000 miles; replace around 50,000–80,000 miles or sooner if leaking, noisy, bouncing, or if mounts/bearings are worn.
Job Difficulty	Moderate to Advanced DIY
Maintenance Tips	Replace in pairs, use complete assemblies when practical, check mounts/bearings, and align the vehicle after replacement.

KYB produces an array of suspension ride control, hydraulic, and electronic products for use as original equipment and aftermarket replacement auto parts in cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, aircraft, industrial and agricultural applications, and more.
If you are looking to restore your vehicle's original feel of handling and control then you're looking for KYB's GR-2 Twin-Tube shocks and struts. But if you prefer more performance by increasing handling and steering control then you'll want to upgrade to KYB Gas-a-Just monotube shock or a KYB MonoMax monotube shock. If you want the ability to tune your shocks to match different driving preferences, you want KYB AGX manually adjustable shocks, struts, and cartridges.

KYB Corporation produces a variety of ride control, hydraulic, and electronic products for use as original equipment and replacement parts in automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, specialty vehicles, buses, aircraft, railroad cars, industrial applications, agricultural applications, and civil engineering projects.
