Good quality part in parts

I have a pair of these KYB strut mounts along with the new KYB struts that I bought for my Kia Spectra. The rubber appears to be of good quality along with the bearing. They install in the same way as the OEM part. Anything from this brand will be of high quality and comparable to a factory replacement part.

Pros
  • Appropriate quality bolts and nuts
Cons
  • Minor issues

KYB Strut Replacement - Yes

Thumbs up. A problem with the assembly is that the three threaded bolts are angled slightly outwards, so they cannot slip into the mounting holes on the vehicle as easily. A long-handled screwdriver and a few hard hammer blows will set the bracket in place. I have purchased quite a number of KYB parts to replace my racks - buy with confidence.

Pros
  • Optimizes suspension performance by offering quality OE replacement parts for every application
Cons
  • Good but not great

There were landing problems.

The product appears to be of good quality but the problem is that inserting the screws into the post deforms the post a bit so the screws do not install quite square. They are turned slightly outwards. This creates a landing problem. The screws just didn't fit the holes on my 2004 Elantra. I had to ream the holes a bit to make them bigger before I could use the mount.

Pros
  • The highest quality replacement rack post on the market
Cons
  • Compatibility
