Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Superior Performance and Comfort: KYB 565102 MonoMax Gas Shock Unveiled by Matthew Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great product needs instructions

I used to have KYB shocks on my Miata so I knew they made a great product. The only thing that bothers me is that there are no instructions. I was watching a KYB video that wasn't specific to any particular vehicle. It basically said that extra washers were included for different applications. This was not the case and after installation I noticed that the hole in the upper damper was too big but I installed it without two washers as that's how the old ones were fitted. After putting everything back together I thought it best to check and one of the answers said to use all 4 washers. So I took everything apart and indeed the large rosettes went into the hole in the bracket. and fix the rubber washers on both sides properly and make sure the shock absorber shaft is not loose. Added about an hour and a half to work. I'm excited to see how they perform!

Pros
  • Useful beyond its intended purpose
Cons
  • Weight
