KYB replacement struts for SVX
I have been told that the KYB struts listed as fitting the SVX on the KYB site (http://www.kyb.com) actually don't fit. I have searched the message archives and find nothing to support that.
Does anyone have direct experience that these struts (model GR-2) don't fit? KYB part #233022 and 233023 (front left and right) and #341065 (rear AWD). Couldn't it be that they actually do work? Maybe they were made by mistake and they are really great and nobdy knows about them! Maybe not. |

Skin, here's the thread you were looking for. I knew I'd seen it somewhere. Unfortunately, the struts did not work.

Thanks for hunting down the post. I will call KYB Monday and ask that they refresh their data.
Thanks again. |

Looking for things I can do to recoup the cost of these ultra cool factor service manuals

I fear that my manuals have done more to recoup monies for other members of this and the other club. I have a friend who will do the strut install when the time comes. He has all the equipment and a nice garage. Of course, he'll be using the manuals to guide him through the process. Luckily, he's an ASE certified shadetree mechanic.

Meanwhile, the body shop said "three to four days." I took it in on Monday. It has been very humid, so, I expect I'll be waiting the full "four" days. If I don't get a call tomorrow . . . well, let's just say I will not be "happy."
