KYB front struts DONT buy them

[Gerry24]

Back in April of this year I replaced front and rear struts and shocks on my MM. This morning I was leaving for work and I observed clear hydraulic fluid right under the strut. :mad2::mad2::mad2:


it has only been seven :censor: months and not even 3k miles on them :mad2:


Rear ones I have not checked out. The other front strut was leaking too, just not as bad. It was the gas-a-just ones are on the MM.

One bad one does not mean the entire line is junk.

I installed three sets on three different marauders in a year, two of the sets failed within the year. The other set has about 2000 miles on it.

Have had mine on for 3 years now. They were still perfect after all that time & probably 20k miles.

Both front struts are leaking. I would ask them to honor the costs to replace.

I got about 4000 miles out of my KYBs before they started leaking. That's when I upgraded to Ridetechs.

Is my MM the only one with shocks on the front?

 

[Gerry24]

I’m looking to replace the fronts struts. Any suggestions? And has anyone tried Bilstein shocks on their MM?

I don't believe Bilstein makes any to fit 03 and later panther chassis.

My dad had same issue with his 04' GMQ. Both fronts blew out within a year. Had to get them replaced under warranty from RockAuto. He doesn't even drive on any bad roads, mostly highway.

Yep, you’re right. I called and spoke to them.

Are you guys all having issues with the HD version? I was getting ready to order some
