Bad Struts?

[xpnsiv93]

I recently, very recently replaced my struts..w/KYB's and Intraxx springs...they havent been on the car no more than 5Kmiles...is it possible for them to go bad ALREADY ?? the car and i took a LONG trip south...did great there but after one back road trip and a 5.5hr cruise home and the tollways of Chicago, seems like their bouncin every little bump i hit..just curious if others had the same issue w/KYB's??? -thanx-

Yea...they are bad already. I have KYB's on the Moog CC's and notice them getting soft..but not too bad, acually I think they have just broken in. But, they get destroyed on any application with lowering springs. So, yes your struts are shot. If you want a high quality strut with those springs go with Tokico.

Intrax or Eibachs will destroy KYB's (even factory perfect ones) in a matter of months if not sooner. You need to get Tokicos (easier to install) or Konis(harder to install but adjustable) to handle thoes springs.
