    Bought 4 of these for my 64 VW Bug and they fit perfectly. Good quality and make my ride so much better!! My other shocks were so old I was used to clunking around town and feeling every bump in the road. Installed these easily and fit perfect. Took it for a test ride and they are awesome! Plus they come with a lifetime limited warranty! And they also came with a rebate that was offered for now. Check around for yourself for any deals on rebates with KYB.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I felt the difference right away in my DD51T Key truck. Fitted almost perfectly. I say almost, because its the same lenght compressed and extended, tougher than original ones, but for your info: the eyelet has a steel sleeve longer than the shock mount.

    You could either cut off the sleeves of the shocks, exchange the bushings if you know how to, remove the washers from the mounts, etc. Its do able... I hope this helps someone with a Carry. Rear shocks, hard to find.

    As for the shocks, the price was decent compare to my local autoparts stores. I'll keep buying from amazon for now. I really liked the price.

    Finally, my complaint: Description says the shocks are from Japan. Well... I read Mexico in each shock. Im not complaining about wich one is better, because i dont know. Im complaining because of the false description only.

    1, il y a eu un erreur a l'expédition, j'acheté une paire, j'ai reçu 2 amortisseurs différents, donc j'ai du attendre le remplacement pour les installer, 2, les amortisseurs manquent d'huile, pour l'amortissement, ce n'est pas grave, mais ils se détendent trop rapidement, ce qui cause un gros bang dans la suspension, a cause de l'erreur d'expédition, j'ai dépassé le délais pour le retour (1jour). Je déconseille fortement, achetez les Bilstein plutôt.
