OE heritage, aftermarket precision
With more than 60 years of experience designing and manufacturing steering components for OE customers, KYB has carried that expertise directly into the development and quality of its aftermarket range. Steering and suspension components have a long-standing partnership, given both product groups are generally integrated to work cohesively with each other.
Built and tested to OE specification
KYB steering components are developed and tested to OE specification as a minimum — ensuring any part purchased matches OE quality or better. Every detail is engineered for superior durability and simple installation, and all components are subjected to advanced quality testing methods prior to production. These tests include:
- Hardness control
- Material load
- Ball pin strength
- Rotational torque testing
- Link rod pull
A growing steering range
Within the aftermarket, KYB initially introduced four steering categories: ball joints, tie rod ends, rack ends, and stabiliser links. Since their release, these product groups have earned significant popularity within the aftermarket, with each range continuously expanded to meet the demands of KYB’s valued customers.
Control arms and warranty coverage
In April 2024, KYB released a range of Control Arms to the aftermarket. Larry Coulthard, Group Product Manager for KYB, explains, “Designed to withstand substantial stress and impact, KYB Control Arms are meticulously manufactured to ensure unparalleled quality and longevity. KYB has perfected the art of suspension technology, with each control arm undergoing rigorous durability testing to meet exacting standards. That means reliability you can trust. Each KYB Control Arm features laser-etched branding for easy traceability, electrophoretic deposition plating for corrosion prevention, and natural rubber bushings to ensure supreme control and comfort.”
KYB Control Arms’ exceptional performance and reliability are backed by a new, market-leading warranty of six years or 150,000km, which applies to all KYB steering and suspension automotive products (excluding heavy commercial shock absorbers).
Larry Coulthard adds, “Just as it is with our suspension components, our process rings true with KYB Steering Components. Perfect fit first time, every time. KYB has been steering you in the right direction for over 60 years! Elevate your driving experience with KYB — where precision meets excellence.”
