Product Description
KYB Strut Boot Kits keep your struts protected from dirt, dust, sand, salt and other road debris. These harmful elements cause abrasive wear to the polished shaft, upper seal & bushing. KYB Strut Boot Kits prevent these contaminants from entering the strut by covering the entire strut shaft in a highly durable plastic bellows. This can easily extend the life of the strut. The KYB Strut Boot Kit includes a poly foam travel-limiting bumper. It’s designed to protect the strut from bottoming out and protects other components from extreme movement damage.

So ,,I thought ! Gooble Gooble!! Call me anything you want ,,,but Turkey is a must after I ordered this part from KYB!
Ring, Ring , Hello?? Yes this is Turkey Headquarters,,,,head Turkey,,speaking!!
Yes I did order the KYB strut boots (bellows) as advertised for my Chrysler . Did they fit? Of Course not!! Yes I had to take a drill ,,,drill the yellow top bellows out as it did not allow for fitting past the head of the strut,,in other words went 3/4 the way on ,,but stuck the last part of the way on!
KYB must know about this by now,,that's why we have a Thanksgiving Big Bird Bake to get rid of last years Turkeys as we are way over populated! Best advice ? Give the KYB Bird the word!! Do not order KYB strut boots ,, order Monroe,,Sachs any body but KYB strut boots!!
Its cheaper to do so ,,and the quality on this part is the same from anyone. Unless you love a part that does not fit ,has to be returned,, or take a old drill,,a propane torch ,heat the drill end hot hot hot, then drill the yellow part out!Hard to do when drill is cold.
By now,,, if you think ,,birds of feather,,hang together,,,buy from KYB and you'll have plenty of company ,,Gooble Gooble~!
Pass the feather!! Hee hee !! Hey ? What am I laughing about????
