Review on 🔧 KYB Gas-a-Just Gas Shock (551105) by James Wonsley

Good replacement for stock shocks in a 2007 Mazda 5. It doesn't seem like the ride quality differs from the OEM's. Very easy to install. I recommend getting the "KYB SM5619 - Shock Mount" (or equivalent mount for your car) at the same time as my shocks looked pretty broken when I took them off. I had a worn shock absorber when I replaced the rear pair, but - in addition to fixing the freeway skid issues - the worn shock absorbers - I was hoping that the new shock absorbers would fix or dampen the mid-car vibrations that my Mazda 5 showed at about 50 mph since it was new; They didn't. The vibration is still there, but I think it's Mazda's fault for poor resonance analysis when designing the Mazda 5 Unibody; Third-party shock absorbers cannot really be expected to solve the problem Mazda created with the original vehicle design.
