💪 High-Performance KYB 339032 Excel-G Gas Strut for Enhanced Efficiency Review

After a few months of using this rack I have to say that the ride quality has suffered more. The ride is very soft and unwieldy on choppy trails. Basically, it looks like an overused storage rack that I just removed.

Pulled out the old one, kept the spring (using a spring compressor), everything assembled in 3 hours. Both sides. They fit my 2008 RAV4 Limited with no problems. And at a fraction of the garage price. They have been with me for almost a year without any problems. If they cause me trouble, I will definitely let everyone know.

I have a '08 RAV4 V6 Sport and they've gotten the OEM driving back to where it was. I've been wearing them for over a month now and am enjoying the riding more and more. My first choice would be Bilstein but apparently they don't make them for this particular vehicle. ************* To update! This is not a good investment! They lived less than a year! terrible, I think Blistein only makes them for the back now, or you can order them from the dealer ex works, but not this one! **************

Car drives like a grain truck after installing KYB struts/shocks. Shelf price must include ALL consumables except base plate. I found this out after removing a luggage rack and opening the box, which required a visit to the dealer to get a new boot.

I bought these to replace my original units on a 2008 Toyota Rav4 with 100,000 miles on it. The originals were removed when I recently bought the car and it caused a lot of handling issues. The new KYB units were the perfect replacement and easy to install. I chose KYB after reading some forums and was happy with my purchase. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that they seem a little stiff, but as mine have broken before there is nothing for me to rate that statement accurately…

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…
