Better than new for shocks, struts and suspension

KYB has always been a solid choice when it came time to replace shock absorbers. It is better than the OME and offers a noticeably better driving experience. Fitting them to my 2003 Ford Escape was a daunting task but well worth it. When the time comes or you just want to improve your ride quality, you can't go wrong with this product.

Pros
  • Features a precision sintered iron strut guide to maintain proper wheel alignment
Cons
  • Very expensive

KYB shocks for the money

Purchased for the rear of my Ford Escape. I've used KYB replacement shocks on my other two cars and find them cheap, as do most others (on the Revain, of course). They are equal to or better than the OEM shock absorbers and always offer excellent performance and driveability. I have had no problems with KYB shocks/struts on my car, truck or SUV.

Pros
  • Specially calibrated to restore original handling and ride
Cons
  • Will write later

Big improvement best in parts

I was replacing the shock absorbers on my 2004 Mazda Tribute/Ford Escape when I noticed one of them was leaking. I immediately noticed how the front gave way after the hits and the back stayed stable. Needless to say I fitted a set of matching stays up front and noticed a definite improvement in the car's handling and handling. A big improvement over the worn out shocks/struts I had.

Pros
  • Installation Type: Vehicle Specific
Cons
  • Faulty

Great product Great price

I bought these in November and am glad I installed them before this winter as the roads in Northeast Pennsylvania have suffered a lot of freeze and thaw damage. The shock absorbers work great, they are exactly the same shock absorbers you find in the auto shop for double the price. I was able to buy two for the same price as one at the dealership. I recommend this product.

Pros
  • Triple chrome piston rod and multiple lip seals to reduce wear
Cons
  • Low serviceability

Much better handling and ride quality!

2007 Ford Escape Limited purchased in 2014. I was unhappy with sloppy management for a while. The right rear shock started to "knock" so I decided to replace both rear shocks. Not only were the bushings removed, someone replaced the original mufflers with a pair of Gabriels. With the KYB shocks installed (which was pretty easy) I'm VERY happy with the ride quality and handling. Escape feels better than ever. I also have a 2015 Mustang, which says a lot. Buy KYB shock absorbers. You will not…

Pros
  • KYB recommends OEM replacement shock absorbers for SUVs and Crossovers
Cons
  • Quality
