The KYB Strut Boot Kit includes a poly foam travel-limiting bumper. Its designed to protect the strut from bottoming out and protects other components from extreme movement damage.

Product Features:

• Superior Quality Boot Helps Protect The Strut Shaft From Leak-Causing Dirt And Debris
• Poly Foam Bumper Prevents The Strut From Bottoming Out
• Built With Design And Quality That Matches Or Exceeds One
