    I drove on those for about 1500 miles before they failed.

    Possible broken top mount on new lift? Please help

    I wish it would’ve come apart during assembly (as long as nobody got hurt). Then I would’nt have had to do the job twice.

    Yeah, I have now ordered two sets for liberty kj (02-07) and neither set came with washers, just the 4 nuts to mount them.

    Broken top strut mount? Please help

    So here are a few pics of the top mounts and the damage that occurred. KYB doesn’t include the required top washer with these mounts so make sure you buy new ones (I’d recommend grade 8 or better) before installing. I learned the hard way and have now had to do the job multiple times.

    Yeah, you either have to disassemble your old struts or go buy new washers since KYB apparently doesn’t include the all the REQUIRED parts…pretty stupid.

    If they don’t come with washers make sure you purchase new ones. Otherwise you’ll have to disassemble your old struts just for the washers. It’s really a stupid idea by KYB. They make you either buy new ones or risk getting hurt by disassembling your old struts. Why not just include new damn...

    Broken top strut mount? Please help

    KYB seems to be the only manufacturer I’ve seen that doesn’t include the washer with the top mount. They include the required 4 nuts but not the washer…I don’t get it.

    Anyone here purchased any parts from Axion Custom Parts?

    Are you still happy with your axion parts?

    Broken top strut mount? Please help

    It’s no problem at all with the struts assembled but my problem is the top mount broke which effectively released the compression on the spring allowing the strut to fully extend in place. Only separating the lower control arm from the knuckle will work.

    Yeah, mine are just one piece plus the 4 nuts on top…

    It seems like the washer should’ve come with the struts since the top nut did and it apparently goes under the top nut.

    Rock auto issued me a replacement. KYB has a decent warranty (1 yr).
