Review on ๐Ÿ”ง KYB Gas-a-Just Gas Shock (551105) by Mike Steeg

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good fit for 2012 Mazda5

Ordered 2x shock absorbers to replace the stock rear shock absorbers on a 2012 Mazda5 with 93,000 miles. Items arrived safely and undamaged in their original packaging. Installation is easy: you need to remove the bottom screw and two small top mounting screws. In my case, the fasteners were not damaged, although it is quite common for fasteners to break. The real performance boost is probably felt most in the much lighter Mazda3. But the ride on the Mazda5 is noticeably more controllable compared to the worn out shock absorbers.

Pros
  • High gas pressure design provides instant extra control
Cons
  • Slightly torn
