KYB 50th Anniversary

KYB Celebrates Our 50th Anniversary in North America!

In the summer of 1974, KYB introduced a limited line of Macpherson Strut replacement cartridges, Gas-a-Just and Premium Heavy Duty shock absorbers to North America. Relatively unknown in the automotive markets outside of Japan, the high quality, dependable and highly engineered KYB shock absorbers quickly took hold with a cost and quality conscience public.

KYB: This Is Why We Do It

How do you know when you need new shocks? Vehicle owners often do not know if shocks and struts are worn since it happens gradually over time.

KYB and 3 people who have daily driven vehicles with worn suspension components find out if their vehicles will benefit from new KYB parts. To establish a baseline, a road test was done to find out how worn suspension parts performed. The road test was completed using the techniques from the KYB 3 Minute Mile. Then the new KYB shocks, struts, Strut-Plus and mounts were installed and another road test was done. The driver reactions and performance of the vehicles speak for themselves!
