Default Has anyone tried KYB strut mounts?

I ordered some new oem struts, insulators, bumpers, but went with KYB strut mounts. I should have read some reviews before I ordered them - I assumed since they were KYB, they would be quality, but I've been reading several bad reviews on them. I don't want to have them installed if they are going to be junk. Anyone have any luck with these?

I have read, if I remember correctly, they were the same quality as Monroe Sensatrac. I have never used them, but I have used the Monroe on all of my cars, without a single issue or problem, and I mean zero problems. I think you will be OK. Just use the new supplied nuts they give you for the mounting up top. GL..

Thanks for the reply! I think I might pony up and get the OEM strut mounts for the front and just use the KYB in the back. Since I am no mechanic, and the labour is costly to replace this stuff, I don't want to be replacing any of it again for a long time.

I have KYB on all four corners. No issues. Great ride quality.
