I look on ebay, and KYB's only sell the front inserts but full strut/shocks for the rear. This could be a dumb question but I've never done it but does these inserts fit any strut or only certain kinds of struts can have the shock inserts removed.

The full strut assembly are for your rears. The fronts are the inserts. You would have to take your stock strut assembly and remove the insert that's in there. Hence "unscrew" it off. I was not able to just easily unscrew mine off. My inserts were sealed on, we had to use a vice to try to unscrew it. When that didn't work we took it to my friends shop and he tapped a hole at the bottom to remove the oil that may have been in the housing, heated the threads where it was sealed with a torch and was able to uncrew it.

That's just what happened with mine. You may be able to unscrew yours out and drop the inserts in.

Just make sure you order the right part numbers. You should be able to pull those off tirerack.com. That's where I purchased mine.

Hope this helps.
