How to choose shocks and struts

Make your decision based on facts and your needs, not just price. Shocks and struts may look alike, but the way they perform on the vehicle can be very different. KYB shocks are designed to help restore your vehicle’s designed control capabilities, or provide additional control, nothing less.

KYB doesn’t believe in “good, better, best” for a product that affects handling, control, and safety. We set the bar at original designed control capabilities and offer performance upgrade products for some vehicles.

Consider your needs:

  • Normal driving (restore original designed control)
  • Larger tires and wheels
  • Towing, hauling or plowing
