Put on some KYB Excel-G shocks- avail at Rock Auto. Think I paid about $60/pair They’re Plain Jane (flat black) and the ones we got (lifted older SUV) doesn’t have the rubber boots that take on & hold water- happened several times to an old truck of mine.
KYB Quick struts. I have installed them on many cars without complaint. EZ driveway repair and no spring compressor needed.
Kyb on our 2010 elantra. Better than original!
I recently installed KYB struts front/rear on my 2014 (108k miles). Seems to be the best brand for quality & price, plus it’s likely your OEM struts are KYB.
KYB. Used on my gen 1 and worked great. Tried Monroe on another vehicle and they were soft and bouncy, replaced those with KYB also.
I also recently replaced the rear shocks. The rear shocks on the premium model with the adjustable controls are just stupid expensive, even from a dealer that sells at wholesale. Anyways, a GX owner found the KYB equivalent for $175 from Partsouq in Dubai. Ordered a pair plus new rubber mounts and installed those a few weeks ago.
KYB is way better than Monroe.
as far as KYB struts go I can say the build quality is excellent. The shop I work at distributes parts to auto shops in the area, and while we have a ton of options the KYB’s sell like crazy. I asked some of the techs about them and they’ve only said great things.
I have the same ones on mine. they seem to do the job just fine. a bit stiffer than the oil filled sachs
The KYB shocks I ordered from them had the wrong bushings, both front and back sets.
