MacPherson Strut Resize

Design Changes for MacPherson Strut Applications


In an effort to further strengthen Ksport’s reputation and products in terms of reliability and durability, Ksport USA will be making a significant design change to several of its MacPherson strut applications. Due to the heavy loads places on MacPherson struts, Ksport will be enlarging strut body diameters by 8.3% in effort to increase strength and improve durability. All MacPherson struts included with Kontrol Pro, Rally Spec GR, Rally Spec AR and Slide Control damper kits will be improved by this design change. Currently, the Ksport GT Pro, Version RR and Circuit Pro already utilize the increased shock body size, and therefore will not experience any design changes. This change comes as a result of heavy R&D testing on track and in the general street market, as well as engineering research and customer feedback.

Applications assembled with a build date of May 1st, 2009 or later, will show this design change. Any stock or sold product before this date through Ksport dealers will not be guaranteed of this improvement. In addition, all applications with the new design change will carry Ksport’s all new 18-month limited warranty against defects, damage and labor charges. All items stocked and sold before the date of May 1st are still covered under Ksport’s warranty program and are guaranteed for quality and reliability.
