Review on Improved KYB SM5078 Strut Mount Kit for Enhanced Performance by John Stowers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Mounting bolts are very weak

After installing the strut I started tightening the nuts and one of the bolts on the driver's side broke. 2 weeks after installation, two screws on the passenger side burst. I am an experienced backyard mechanic and these nuts/bolts were not over tightened or over tightened. I have always relied on KYB and this is the first issue I have when using their products. I also installed 4 KYB racks that work great. Maybe it was just a bad batch.

Pros
  • Top quality replacement strut mount
Cons
  • So far so good
