Review on ๐Ÿ’ช High-Performance KYB 339032 Excel-G Gas Strut for Enhanced Efficiency by John Butler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good replacement for 2008 RAV4 V6 Limited. Restored handling and low noise.

replacement! Luckily after replacing all 4 gas struts and the two front anti-roll bars on our 2008 RAV4 I didn't have to align the tires. The job took me a full day (10 hours) to swap out all 4 racks. I changed them because our RAV was a bit noisy when reversing or going over small bumps. Even considering that almost 10 years had passed, it was a cheap replacement. I would recommend replacing the rubber boot and gaskets if you can find them. I just reused my old cracked/compressed ones which ended up being fine, but knowing that I've gotten cheaper doesn't put me in a good mood. The machine works like new. Again strict control. no noise I swear the braking performance is magically better, probably due to the restored brake weight distribution.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
