Only 1 mount came, not 2 as advertised

Advertised as 2 mounts, I only received 1. Due to poor quality control, I've fallen behind with repairing my truck in my very limited free time.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Very expensive

Great product at a great price

They represent great value for money and you don't need to re-use your old rack jack in 4runner as unlike a factory part these bars have a top jack built in. 98 4runners

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • No Performance

KYB Tophat Dilemms

Tophat KYB was a little tight at the top of the rack. The grommet glued in at the top was a bit thinner than the ones that came with the posts, I had to add a 3/8" grommet to tighten the dust cap and large washer underneath.

Pros
  • Excellent overall specs
Cons
  • Not the best

NO PAIR! Buy 1 for each shock.

This is not a pair of shock absorbers! This is for a hit! You have to buy 2 if you change both front shock absorbers. Although the questions say they come in pairs. They do NOT come in pairs. Bought for 99T 4Runner. Will check performance after I install it. Because I had to put my project on hold due to misleading information.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Some small things

Poor quality threads and nuts

I use genuine Toyota parts almost every time I work on my 1996 Tacoma. Decided to at least try these mounts as my standard top plates were fried. And as usual, I was reminded why I rarely use aftermarket parts. All good aftermarket titles are now just foreign-made junk parts. KYB, MOOG, etc. They're all junk. Both top plates were poorly threaded and I could barely install the nuts that came with them. I was afraid I would cut them. Additionally, these are 15mm nuts instead of the standard 14mm…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Functionality

Very disappointed with the quality of KYB.

I decided to ignore the bad reviews about these mounts for my '96 4Runner but took the risk as I have bought products from KYB (USA) in the past. The past has come and gone with KYB as these strut mounts are now made in China and POORLY designed. I only gave it two stars because the rubber bushing was the only part that looked decent. First, the three nuts holding the bolts are useless as I couldn't find a 15.5/15.25/15.75mm wrench or dared to ask someone if they make them. The default wouldn't

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Easy serviceability
