QUALITY AND CONTROL

Years of expertise have helped KYB to become an industry leader not only in shock absorber production but integrated automobile control systems and suspension module production and development.  
 
KYB aftermarket shock absorbers are manufactured using the same factories and technology as for OE. The valving is uprated to allow for the fact that the shock absorbers will be fitted to a vehicle with other worn suspension components, in order to restore the ride as close as possible to how the vehicle was when it was brand new.
