    I just installed a KYB monomax heavy duty shock on my Ram 1500 crew cab. The ride is superb the rise like I just bought it off the showroom floor. I love these shocks.

    Shocks do not "improve steering", but improve handling by stiffening up the suspension and (if your shocks are worn out) by ensuring that the tire stays hard on the ground during bumps. If your steering has become sloppy like mine has look into suspension bushings that may be worn out. If you hear a clunk when you turn the wheel that may be strut bearings and bushings, if you hear a clunk under braking or other situations check the suspension bushings. You can use a prybar and look for play.

    Gotta love how KYB promptly answered all of these questions, I guess 30 plus comments are a bit overwhelming for them.

    I own a 2004 Cadillac srx v8 awd model. I have been told the back stuts are out, that would explain why my back tires are shaped like the letter A or like this / \ and its wearing out my tires on the inner edge. I told my local Cadillac dealer and they said its the suspension and they are $880.00 but that is for the suspension not the strut which is $100.00 on this site. I don't know if I'm going to buy the right part needed to fix the "/ \" shape. please help :-/

    Hello, I have Mazda 3 2004(i-sedan 4 door)2,0 L engine with 82000 km in odo. Recently rear left shock mount broke . I was wondering shall i replace the mount only or the complete shock with mount. If i need to change the shock as well, which one will be a good choice. KYB 551105 Gas-a-Just Gas shock or KYB 343412 Excel -G gas shock.. Also, do i need to change both the rear shocks if i need to replace only the left side. Thanks,

    On my last car, a 98 Toyota Corolla LE, I had installed KYB replacement bellows because the original ones were beginning to tear only after a few years. Replacing the bellows was a total pain in the ars, but the replacements were even worse and only lasted 1 year. They were completely shreaded into rings. Then I sold that car and now I have a low mileage 99 Camry XLE creampuff. I installed Sensen Speedy Struts all around, and of course, this turned out to be a big mistake. The fronts lock up in freezing cold weather, so I just got my money back and purchased 2 front KYB strut assemblies with springs. I am SOOOO sick of replacing suspension parts, especially when it's cold outside. Please tell me that the bellows are going to last more than a year. Lie to me if you have to. Everyone else has. The rear Sensens are fine and are valved for a stock ride.

    I have an 04 Nissan Altima, and I have installed Aftermarket Lowering springs. After a while, the front side is making loud squeaky noises as I'm driving. Now these are my Original Factory struts I got. What would you recommend me to get? And where can I purchase the set? Does AutoZone carry those items?? Please message me with info. Thanks :)

    Hi. I have an eclipse rs and when I first got it, it was already lowered but the front two shocks were shot; the back were fine. So I bought four new eibach pro kit lowering springs (lowered 1.5in from normal ride hight) and two front kyb excel g shocks. I noticed that while on the freeway riding over a pattern of dips, my car will sway for a short period. Also while driving through a deep crown in the street my shocks give. Is this something to be concerned about?

    I have a Customers Car in the shop has KYB Ft Struts Nitrogen leaked out and needed replacement, the shop that replaced them is no longer in Business and customer does not have repair receipt. I Emailed KYB with a Picture of the Strut and The Major Parts Store info that sells KYB Products and I got a Copied and Paste back response saying i need to take these struts to a Authorized Seller to determine the Condition. It was obvious that the person was Oblivious of my Detailed Email and gave me a Generic Response. As A Master Mechanic 37+ years Experience that Response was a Insulting. I was Expecting a more help full answer than Copy-Paste email Really KYB i'm NOT Impressed and I have Promoting there products Since 1981. Corporate Customer Relations in this Country is gone down the Toilette.
