KYB Suspension

About KYB Suspension

KYB is one of the world's leading manufacturers of hydraulic shock absorbers and suspension components, with a heritage rooted in original equipment (OE) research and manufacturing. Trusted by automakers and professional technicians alike, KYB engineers every product to meet or exceed the factory specifications of the vehicles they're designed for — not just when new, but calibrated specifically for vehicles that have accumulated real-world miles.

What sets KYB apart is its commitment to OE-level quality. Because KYB supplies shock absorbers and struts directly to vehicle manufacturers as original equipment, the company brings that same engineering discipline to its replacement parts line. That means when you install a KYB component, you're restoring your vehicle's suspension to the performance envelope it was originally designed to deliver — not a generic approximation.

KYB's product catalog spans thousands of applications covering passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers. Whether you're dealing with a worn-out ride on a daily driver or restoring the handling confidence of a truck used for towing and hauling, KYB offers a purpose-engineered solution.

KYB's Core Suspension Products

The backbone of KYB's lineup is its Suspension Strut Assembly offering — a comprehensive collection of ready-to-install complete strut assemblies that combine the strut, spring, and mount into a single unit. These assemblies are designed to simplify installation and eliminate the need for a spring compressor, making them a favorite among both DIYers and professional installers.

For vehicles that use traditional twin-tube or monotube designs, KYB's Shock Absorbers are among the most widely specified in the industry. Built with precision-engineered valving, KYB shocks are calibrated to restore the damping control that wears away over time, improving braking stability, cornering control, and overall ride comfort.

When replacement calls for the strut cartridge itself rather than a full assembly, KYB's Suspension Struts deliver the same OE-matched performance in a format compatible with a wide range of strut housings. These are an ideal choice for vehicles where the spring and mount remain serviceable.

For those seeking a fully integrated solution that includes the coil spring, KYB also offers a Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly — pairing the strut with a matched spring for a cohesive, balanced ride restore. This combination takes the guesswork out of spring selection and ensures all components work in harmony.

Rounding out KYB's suspension lineup is their Steering Stabilizer category, which is especially valuable for truck and SUV owners dealing with the demands of off-road driving or larger tire fitments. Steering stabilizers reduce the wandering and shimmy that can develop in front axle steering systems, restoring confident, precise directional control.
