KYB Strut Cartridges Options

[crankyelbow]

I ordered assemblies, but I was sent cartridges.

Return/exchange would not be an issue if not for getting a bad check that now ties up all my funds. I'd have to exchange for some monroe's plus pay the difference or wait on a refund, neither of which I want to do.

I have new mounts, and I'm wondering if I can put the KYB cartridges into the stock strut... base? I guess it would be called.

Anyone know if this is possible?

I've been rolling with 2 busted springs in the front for almost 2 months now and the horrific ride is really kickin my ass, thats 3000 miles of bouncing around on chicago potholes!

I hadn't considered mounting the new mounts on the old struts just so I can get the new stock springs in there for the time being... but I have these things and I'd really like to use them

hmm ok i see.

well ya easy drop in for the front cartridges. only problem is if i sit on top of the right front fender and jump up and down to make the shocks work, it makes a little thump noise. That could be that the rubber pieces that hold the spring together on top and bottom are outta place. but so far so good no problems what so ever.
