Hello,
I ordered 2 rear KYB strut mounts from amazon, both model number SM5087. However, look different from each other, not drastically but it is noticeable. Biggest difference is on mount has ring around the metal cup on the top while the other does not. Has anyone ever dealt with this or does it sound like it could be an issue? Just trying to make sure so I don't run into issues during installation or while on the road. Thanks |

naw it won't you should be good to go...original toyota mounts were less beefy than the new designs toyota releases and KYB. Usually a typical car is never even or balanced naturally. theres actually something called suspension balancing where a shop can make the proper adjustments but makes more sense for racing applications.
