problem with my shocks, KYB Options

[TruXSaMuRai]

I bought these kybs off ebay. There was one problem on the side of the shocks where the two holes that are supposed to get drill back to the rotor or piece it connects. The holes are to far apart? those two holes are also further apart from each other comparing to the stocks shocks i took out. did anyone have these problems.

Thats not really gonna be effective without your old struts as a holder for the inserts. As long as you put in your new inserts your strut will become like new, provided that they aren't bent or rusted to the core. ******Make sure you dump the liquid in the struts and add a bit of new motor oil in it*****

The rear struts are a pain in da A*s. You will need some small vise grips to hold the nut on the sway bar links. so that you can remove the bolts tat hold the sway bar and the sturt together. (Its a piece of meatl 3-5 inches long and has rubber joints at the end of each section). You must be very careful, because they are probbaly stuck and rusted. The hardest thing is these are HEX bolts and if you screw up u will over thread the hexs. You would end up like me sawing off this little metal bar and buying 2 new ones. It costs nearly $50 and up a piece!

For the rear, I had a 2" drop in springs so I didn't really need the spring compressor when assembling the struts again.

any questions? put up another reply
