The second box was quite old, the inner box had a .

Bought a set of two strut mounts and bearing kits. Fastening nuts are missing or stolen by a previous buyer. I had to return the product which Revain handled with ease.

Mounting bolts are very weak

After installing the strut I started tightening the nuts and one of the bolts on the driver's side broke. 2 weeks after installation, two screws on the passenger side burst.

Pros
  • Top quality replacement strut mount
Cons
  • So far so good

Maybe I got a bad batch but they squeak/creak when driving!

I installed new KYB struts on my Saturn SL1 along with the recommended KYB mounting kits.

Pros
  • Thrust bearings provide smoother steering and help maintain front end alignment.
Cons
  • Blank

Great products and handling improvements are worth it! So bad? I actually have a dent in my Saturn hood that's being pushed out by hitting the top of the strut due to a…

Pros
  • Optimizes suspension performance by offering genuine replacement components designed for each application.
Cons
  • I will add later
