navygz19 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) How do they stack up against KYB and MOOG? Does anybody know who mfg.'s them? I was thinking it was KYB, seeing as that's OEM. Thanks Edited May 28, 2007 by navygz19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The strut mounts that AC sells are made by KYB, and come with bearings. Mine worked OK while they lasted, but they got damaged prematurely due to improper installation of strut spacers (my fault) , so I can't tell you if they would have lasted longer under more "normal" circumstances. On the other hand, I don't know if the OEM mounts are made by KYB (I know the OEM struts are), but the KYB mounts and bearings sold by AC are definetly not the same as the ones I got from the dealer. The mounts and bearings I got from the dealer seemed to be a bit better built, with sturdier plastic and stiffer rubber. Honestly, if I had to buy them again I would go for the OEM ones, since its such a pain to take appart the strut assembly to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navygz19 Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) THIS was why I was asking about it being OEM (scroll down to #3 here) I didn't think they were though. Anyways, thanks for your input. Anyone elose had experiance with the A/C bearings/mounts? I figured dealer parts would be better but more $$ as well. If the KYB's hold up alright, then I would go for them. Thanks guys (and girls! :tongue: ) Edited May 28, 2007 by navygz19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 You shouldnt even really replace them unless the D shaped hole where the strut goes into the mount is rounded out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to go OME lift w/ KYB's...I think they should be replaced. Should have mentioned that to begin with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Ah you'll like the OME lift. I ran that at first back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
