Disappointing performance, avoid these shocks.

After trying this product, I was unimpressed with the overall ride quality. While the shocks are affordable, they lack the durability and effectiveness of higher-end options.

Pros
  • Pro: Affordable
Cons
  • Con: Lacks durability and ride quality.

Ideal replacement for the original

Ideal for replacing the rear shock absorbers on a 1978 Chevy C20 pickup. Replaced the original shock absorbers, long overdue. Much harder ride.

Pros
  • Specially calibrated to restore the original handling and ride characteristics of full size GM trucks
Cons
  • Frequency

Great replacement OEM

Installed on the rear of a 1980 GMC K2500. The shocks being replaced were probably original and long overdue for replacement. As a (retired) professional mechanic I've always had good luck with the KYB line of products and they certainly perform as expected. KYBs were boxed for Carquest. The product comes with a top mounting bolt for the frame, but you must save and reuse the bottom mounting bolt on the axle.

Pros
  • Solid, seamless mounting tabs and rattle free pin bushings
Cons
  • Small things
