KYB AGX Adjustable
Gas Struts & Shocks  Search by vehicle

AGX Adjustable Gas Shocks & Strut Cartridges are for the driving enthusiast who owns a sports compact, sports coupe or sports car.

KYB AGX Adjustable Gas shock absorbers are externally adjustable, so there is no need to disconnect or remove anything to change settings. Depending on the vehicle’s configuration, the damping rate is selected with an external knob on the side of the shock body or through a screwdriver inserted into a slot at the top of the strut’s piston rod. The KYB AGX shock absorber’s single damping adjustment changes the shock’s compression & rebound resistance at once. When you want adjustable high performance control, you want KYB AGX Adjustable Gas shock absorbers.
   
KYB Strut Mounts,
Strut Boots & Bumpers  Search by vehicle

While not always apparent, as the vehicle’s mileage climbs, its strut mounts often deteriorate. Therefore, when the struts are being replaced (especially on high mileage vehicles), it’s also the perfect time to replace the strut mounts in order to help restore the vehicle’s like-new ride quality. KYB strut boots feature a "bellows" type boot that provides effective protection from dirt & moisture by covering the entire piston rod. They include an integrated compression bumper that is bonded to the bellows to act as a "bump stop" that helps prevent metal-to-metal contact of the suspension during severe impacts. New KYB Strut Boots & Bumpers exceed original equipment requirements, are easy to install & provide a low cost insurance that protects the struts from dirt, moisture & severe impacts.
