What is best choice for dirt roads, including mountain trails?... Now have larger-than-OEM tires. Went from 235/75R15 to 31x10.5R15. No towing. Tried Excel-G, but they wore out too quickly. Tried Monomax, but only felt good for 1 month. After that, compression phase too stiff and extension phase too weak.

I put a set of the gas-a-just on my 01 Grand Cherokee w/4" lift and 31" tires. They are about 3 years old and ride exactly like they did the day i put them on (approx. 45k miles). They ride much MUCH firmer than stock. Especially in the rear. The Jeep is my work vehicle, i do remote welding on farm equipment and pull a trailer with my welder and tools so the stiff rear is great for me. I like the sportier ride, personally and they noticeably reduce body roll in corners. On little bumps/wash boards they are harsh at low speed. However, the faster you go, the better they get!

Ordered a pair of rear shocks, KYB 555601 (Increased Handling/Stability) Gas-A-Just Monotube Info Rear; Mount kit SM526 Sold Separately- the only mount kit I could find is SM5267, so hoping for the best I ordered two kits, one for each shock, the nut barely threads onto the stud more than 2 rotations - if I force the nut to thread any more it will strip the threads, the included instructions are for the front end of the vehicle. Have an issue where I cannot remove the old ones without use of sawzall or grinder due to stud being distorted. Any advice would be appreciated.

Your 3rd sentence doesn't make sense as it’s currently written, but I'm gathering that you bought new KYB from eBay and are wondering if you can warranty them through the eBay seller. If so, here's my response. KYB aftermarket products have a "[KYB product] lifetime warranty." Shocks are expected to wear over time, which is their expected "lifetime." Our warranty covers manufacturing defects and things like that, not normal wear from a product in use over time. If you're attempting to warranty used shocks, that's not how it works. The warranty also does not cover parts that are purchased from an unauthorized retailer, like eBay.

If you are in the US, please check our online catalog at www.kyb.com/catalog where you can search by year, make, and model. If you are not in the US, please find the KYB company local to your region. Also, shocks control the springs, which control the body movement that you feel in the vehicle. A simple shock replacement may need other components added as well to achieve better stability and control. A KYB Strut-Plus complete assembly comes with an OE replacement strut that's been calibrated to work well with other worn suspension components around it, an OE matching spring that is corner specific, and a new OE mount to help restore your Corolla's handling to like new. Starting with a quality shock or strut like KYB would be a good move to handling changes in road conditions, like potholes as you mentioned.

@kybamericascorp 5 ай бұрын
I understand your frustration with the clunking noise coming from your 2003 Toyota Camry. It's certainly not ideal after having replaced them so recently and having a fresh suspension system. The clunking noise could be caused by several factors, not necessarily limited to the strut mounts themselves: Mounts and bushings: As you mentioned, worn or loose strut mounts and bushings are a common culprit for suspension noise. Even if they appear tight, they might have slight movement while driving, causing the clunking. Installation: Improper installation of the strut mounts or other suspension components can also lead to noise. Ensure everything was torqued to the manufacturer's specifications and double-check for any potential misalignments. Other suspension components: While you mentioned replacing most components, another part, like a faulty sway bar link or worn ball joint, could be contributing to the noise. A thorough inspection of all suspension components is recommended. KYB Strut-Plus compatibility: Although unlikely, there's a possibility that the specific model you purchased isn't perfectly compatible with your Camry. Checking the exact part numbers and compatibility with your vehicle on KYB's website is advisable. See www.kyb.com/catalog to check for your specific vehicle and trim level. Here are some suggestions for next steps: Double-check the torque on all suspension components, especially the strut mounts. Have a qualified mechanic inspect the entire suspension system for any worn or loose parts, even if they were recently replaced. Remember, diagnosing suspension noise can be tricky, and it's best to involve a qualified mechanic for a thorough inspection and potential repairs. Hopefully, you can find the source of the clunking noise and get your Camry back to smooth riding soon.
