KYB Shifts Up A Gear With 2006 Shock Absorber Catalogue

KYB has launched its new catalogue for 2006 - a complete guide to all KYB branded shock absorbers, protection kits and suspension mounting kits.

The glossy, 416 page catalogue contains a full description of each of KYB's current shock absorbers, together with listings of all new additions. It includes applications for cars, car derived vans (CDVs) and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) from 74 manufacturers, all listed alphabetically, making it one of the most comprehensive and user friendly suspension component catalogues in the aftermarket.

There are over 200 new vehicle applications for 2006 including the Audi A3 Sportback, BMW X5, Toyota Lexus RX300, and the Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo trio.

The catalogue features KYB's Premium and Excel G shock absorbers - as well as cartridges for high quality economic repair - and struts for straightforward replacement. It also gives information about the Gas-A-Just mono-tube shock absorber, a self adjusting gas unit which uses special all-weather hydraulic fluid and pressurised nitrogen gas, and is ideal for performance vehicles needing up-rated suspension.

An informative introduction to the catalogue explains the functions and safety aspects of shock absorbers, and includes a 'quick check' list of questions designed to determine when replacement shock absorbers are needed. The catalogue also features technical guidelines for the correct disposal of worn shocks.
