Are there any differences between KYB shocks & struts manufactured in the US vs other countries (such as Japan)?
No. All KYB products are designed at the KYB world R&D offices, and every KYB manufacturing plant then builds each product to the designed specifications. High-volume part numbers are manufactured at multiple plants and in multiple countries. Since KYB designs and builds our own manufacturing equipment, we can control and replicate production specifications, ensuring identical performance and quality across all manufacturing facilities. Specific product performance is determined by part number, not by where it is manufactured. Product quality is consistent across all KYB part numbers and manufacturing facilities.
