My Honda Odyssey 04 still seems to drive and handle well. That's when I decided to do an up and down rebound test to see if the shocks and struts were working. It's a good thing I decided to check this out as the rear shock absorbers are knocking more than once indicating a weak or failed damper. That's when I decided to look for a replacement shock kit that wasn't OEM but worked the same or better. I have often used the KYB brand on many of my vehicles in the past and have found them to handle the ride best with the same proper sense of stability. KYB Excel-G Gas Shocks are great for the Honda Odyssey, controlling rebound over bumps in the road. and those speed bumps that can test your suspension if you go over them too fast. (That's when I realized my old shocks weren't up to the task.) The cost of KYB is reasonable given the inflated prices of OEM units. Avoid the Monroes, they are worse in every way. recommended
