Comparison with Original Equipment Brackets

is needed to get 2 sets. The first set came with bearings that were installed upside down and made a squeaky noise. Look at the factory fasteners and set the bearing as a factory. The mount will not work properly with an inverted bearing. The reason I say check them is because both sets came with the bearings installed incorrectly. Of course, Amazon took care of this problem.

Pros
  • Shocks, Struts and Suspension
Cons
  • It's hard to say that

why is it so damn loud?

I replaced the original Buick GM/AC Delco with this and can't stand the noise. Shock absorber nut has been tightened. I left the other side with a used original after replacing the shock absorber and everything was fine, no noise. kyb needs to analyze this part and check for tolerances and quality control. the impact cylinder is too loose and moves over a hole that is too large for it. The Excel G gas spring was ok, but it was rubbish.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Low repairability

Fits 1998 Buick Riviera

Replaces the stock front brackets on a 1998 Buick Riviera with pivot bearing. I installed this with interchangeable struts from KYB GR-2. The brackets come with three new mounting screws that I used in place of the old ones. I had to keep the old washer that fits under the new strut nut, as well as the round plastic wedge that separates the bracket from the spring. The brackets on the left and right are the same, as are the luggage racks. Replacing the struts and brackets greatly improved ride…

Pros
  • Replacement Parts
Cons
  • Some nuances
