Shock absorber, strut and suspension boots

Arrived on time and was a great replacement for the worn and split boots I ditched. I will use again next time I change frames.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Clarity

A good thing! Good quality product

Good material! Good quality product. Don't forget the stem spacers! This is the only item that does not come with it, nor with the stand itself.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly

No more trunk rattle

If you hear the famous Camry in the back of your car, this is probably what you're looking for. The rack rarely fails, and usually the problem lies with the assembly. My mechanic insisted I buy KYB bindings as he hasn't had a problem with any of them. I understand why he insisted on that KYB mount and my 91,000 mile car is smooth again.

Pros
  • Outstanding overall performance
Cons
  • Some little things

KYB Strut Mount SM 5175 - Rear

This is exactly what I needed. The symptoms of my failed OEM C-pillar brace (right) was a loose knock. My local Toyota dealer (Honolulu, Hawaii) wanted $160 for this part, which was outrageous. I've rented some spring compressors from a local dealership, replaced a broken OEM strut mount with a KYB strut mount, and everything is better! This was done on a 2002 Toyota Camry LE V6. Thank goodness for Revain and KYB!

Pros
  • Cool item
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Not original KYB strut mounts or VERY OLD product

I purchased these strut mounts in December 2019 for my 2000 Camry XLE. Both were part number 'SM5175' and looked good. After 5 months I was doing other small jobs with the luggage racks on my car and noticed the dust bags were torn. I was surprised. The premium bindings and KYB boots were practically in tatters. They had less than 1000 miles on the odometer. save your money Head over to Rockauto and buy Mevotech Supremes for $21 each. These mounts are not worth your money or time and you willโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • I will add later

Rattling noise from a pillar

Looks identical to a genuine Toyota part but costs half the Toyota price. Not sure if these bindings will last, but KYB is a quality Japanese company. Just FYI, some of these strut mounts were made in China and some are now made in India. UPDATE: 6 months later the right rear of my Camry Solara is still silent but now there is a loud rattle coming from the top rear left. stand bracket. The mechanic said the 3 nuts above were a bit loose. He re-tightened it, but the noise returned a few daysโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Cable shorter than others
