KYB: This Is Why We Do It

[@isoto0224]

Don't forget to do a tire alignment after installing your new kyb shocks/struts. Some mechanics will say you don't need to but it's best to do an alignment when doing any type of suspension work. Plus your car will be great after getting the new parts and alignment 😊

Just changed out the struts in my 2009 Accord Sedan at 249,000km. There was nothing overtly wrong with them but felt lack of confidence when doing lane changes, turning would cause roll and dives on the opposite side, deep holes or high bumps would cause a loud bang and I had to be very mindful of them. Got KYB Strut Plus replaced all 4 corners and the confidence, tightening and dampening is back.

Good move. I know you're thinking that leaking is the only, "overt" way to tell if shocks and struts are worn, but we feel differently. There are the signs of wear that you listed that can be seen and felt under driving conditions, and sometimes even the ride height can tell you if a vehicle has worn suspension components. Those signs of wear are what we instruct people to look for in our road testing techniques to feel if shocks, struts and other suspension components may need replacing. Seems like you knew inherently that they needed replacing from living with the vehicle.

Just changed out the struts on my 2005 Camry at 249,000km too actually with KYBs. Rear ones were leaking but front ones weren’t. Rear ones were obviously gone, but I was hesitant to do the fronts as they “weren’t leaking yet”.Luckily I found a fair deal on a new set of front struts as they compressed down easily and didn’t even go back up and the old mounts were close to completely going bust. Honestly night and day difference, car rides leaps and bounds better and definitely feels a lot safer on the highway.

@@missythedog4558 We especially love the safety aspect and confidence you get when you replace worn shocks and struts with high quality ones, like KYB. It makes driving a much better experience and puts you back in control of your vehicle!

KYB is Toyota's OEM shocks, get it because it's the best in the world.

[@toyotabrony]

Compare to the rest of like Honda, Nissan, Chevy, Dodge. It makes a whole lot better with a Toyota, because it’s toyota’s best shocks and struts replacement by KYB.

[@toyotabrony]

And do u go for just KYB excel G shocks and struts? Or strut plus and rear shocks? There’s quite a few people had an issue of strut plus. I feel like I would just get shocks and struts themselves.

[@sergioramirez1693]

What about a 12’ honda accord. Go Kyb?

[@toyotabrony]

@@sergioramirez1693 samething. KYB excel g shocks and struts are very well made.

[@reyperez3424]

Not true Toyota uses other brands , tien of something like that had my v6 RAV4 Nissan uses Sachs in some vehicles for example I’ll go bilstein first then sachs second and kyb third 😢

[@iliasandresakis9684]

Is KYB the OEM of Peugeot 2008 ?

[@kybamericascorp]

That's a question for @Kyb-europe

[@ianschembri6756]

What type of kyb you used pls? I was going to buy them formy toyota funcargo

[@kybamericascorp]

This is the KYB Americas account, we only cover the US and Canada. Please contact the KYB division in your area, we aren't familiar with the Toyota Funcargo in our market.

[@blradcl]

KYB is the only brand to go with. Everything else is just incorporating cheap garbage.

[@sergebinder9363]

You change lane like it s a sport car ....lol it s a ram

[@kybamericascorp]

That was during a road test to measure the capabilities. If an emergency situation arises and you need to change lanes abruptly, will your vehicle still be in control? We don't expect a pickup to handle like a sports car, but it needs to stay in control when driving. Ram or not, emergency situations don't care about your vehicle type.
