Regular inspection of your vehicle's suspension components is crucial for maintaining safety and performance.

- Signs of Wear: Look for signs of fluid leaks from the strut body, damaged or cracked rubber components (boots, bushings), excessive vehicle bounce, or unusual noises.
6. Troubleshooting
If you experience any issues after installation or during the use of your KYB Strut-Plus assembly, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:
- Unusual Noises: Check for proper torque on all fasteners. Ensure no components are loose or making contact with other parts of the vehicle.
- Poor Ride Quality: Verify that the correct part was installed for your vehicle model and corner. Confirm that tire pressure is set to manufacturer specifications.
