Yoooo out there in Pathy land, word to the wise!

 

DO NOT (probably will get flamed) use KYB strut bearings! Mine were brand new on the truck for under 3 weeks and they have caused me to do massive amounts of extra work! My rig had 47K on it when I put the lift on and 295 miles later one was busted (20-30% chip off of edge) and the other is choppy in its function. I also noticed that it was a slightly tighter fit than the OE part. Incidentally, the 96-99 and 00-04 had all the same part numbers so this should have not fit so tightly-----Today in record time (for me), 5 hrs. I uninstalled the entire front strut assemblies and re-installed the original strut bearings, out come? Fine for now!! No creaks no groans and no choppy steering.

 

Lesson learned for me, some parts MUST be OEM to function 100%

 

 

--------------------->now on to the flame!! :crossedwires:
