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.- 02projectkj

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.- 02projectkj

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.- 02projectkj

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.- 02projectkj

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...- 02projectkj

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.- 02projectkj

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.- 02projectkj

It seems like the washer should’ve come with the struts since the top nut did and it apparently goes under the top nut.- 02projectkj

It’s just crazy to think that I bought all new components for my whole suspension and washers didn mine look very similar to this. No typical thin washer on top. All parts came pre-assembled to replace original- 02projectkj

I figured with 132k on the vehicle the suspension was about done so I just changed out everything to prevent future issues.- 02projectkj

I installed everything that came with the OME strut/coil spring as well as everything that came with the KYB upper/lower mounts. If there was supposed to be a washer I think it would’ve been included…but who knows.- 02projectkj

Interesting. But if the strut pulled through a cast iron/steel top mount I really don’t think a washer would’ve prevented it from happening.- 02projectkj
