Enhance Your Ride with KYB 349035 Excel-G Gas Shock: Get the Best Performance in Sleek Black Design! Review

I was having problems with my rear tires and noticed one of the bearing brackets was leaking so I bought these. Easy to install, big difference in drivability and noise! Took me a little over an hour.

I wish I had an OEM, I'm more for a smoother ride than performance, will kick the expense and just buy some MONROES or OEM. AFTER A MONTH LATER THE HARD IS WAY AND ALLOWS YOU TO RIDE SMOOTHLY

The hardware that came with this damper is not compatible with the XB so I reused the old hardware. The only hardware I've used is a nylon nut. It's also very easy to swap out and the XB now drives much better. No more inclination.

Out of the two I installed on the back of a 3rd gen Prius, one failed after a month. A failed shock absorber will rattle and pop (i.e. pushing up and down that corner of the car makes those noises) even after checking that it's installed correctly on the bracket etc. Part of the problem may lie in lousy shipping packaging. The plastic strip that holds the shock in place slips off easily, making the stem vulnerable to damage. As already mentioned, a new dust cover is not included. Before the…

Fits 3rd generation Prius. Does not come with a dust cover. You must use one from the old damper. Mine was in good condition but if yours is worn out the only option the dealer has at this point is to replace the dust cover. Installed quickly. You did it in an hour. On the 3rd generation they installed access panels in the tailgate so you don't have to rip open the back of the car like on the 2nd generation. Generally not rocket science. I am happy with the product but from the picture it looks
