Review on KYB SM5267 Mount Kit by Dan Brickley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disgusting quality nut, ruined the KYB shock bolt.

Tightened the nut and it went all the way to the bottom of the bolt, then the threads on the nut broke off on the bolt ruining the bolt. I suggest finding a better quality nut rather than using one of these. And no, it was NOT crossed. It twisted the entire bolt all the way down and then popped as I started tightening it. The torque spec for this nut is only 30 lb-ft and it broke long before that. Update: Received a replacement from Revain a few days later, same thing happened. I had to buy a good quality flanged nut from a hardware store. The high-quality nut even had more internal threads than the KYB nut! That's ridiculous.
