KYB installation help required!
KYB installation help required!
I installed the KYB in the rears.
There really isn't any instructions to speak of.
I used the original rubber doughnut at the top and the original nut and washer.
I used the other rubber bit on the under side.
In summary I didn't use the much larger supplied rubber doughnut as it didn't fit.
Nor, did I use the supplied washer, or the 2nd supplied washer. No idea where this goes.
Drove the car - can hear rattles from the top of the posts and almost like popping sounds.
Can anyone give some detailed installation instructions, perhaps pictures or how to use the supplied parts.

I think you forgot some hardware, maybe?
There are a few videos on this. Good luck.

Re: KYB installation help required!
Sorry I cannot help you with this issue BUT can suggest you only have ONE post for this issue. Doesn't help you to make multiple posts for the same issue. Hope you get this fixed to your liking (the ride).
