No, Is Top Perfect which is HWL now. I rebuilt them in November last year, that is why VR is comfortable now.....lolKYB does rebuilding for your car? Really?

how'd you come to this conclusion? If rebuilt to stock specifications then shouldn't be an issue.Rebuilt absorbers doesnt seem to last. Not as long as original?
3 rebuilds but how often do you use the car, mileage wise in between each rebuild?My front absorbers are on their 3rd rebuilt. First round they clamp back, second round they ask to do serviceable if going to keep the car, which I did, so now in third rebuilt in 20 years. In between for a few years was using the D2 coil overs....
Those days daily driven.....3 rebuilds but how often do you use the car, mileage wise in between each rebuild?
Yah, the front OEM set, first round rebild should be around 6 to 7 years, then 12 years, because first rebuild was when VR engine transplant, 6 to 7 years rebuild, then another 6 to 7 years later transfer to my hyundai until 2019, 3rd rebuild back to VR.That means roughly 6-7 years per rebuild. Durability isnt bad
fuhh long lasting. Thats the diff of old days and nowadays hand work, materials.Yah, the front OEM set, first round rebild should be around 6 to 7 years, then 12 years, because first rebuild was when VR engine transplant, 6 to 7 years rebuild, then another 6 to 7 years later transfer to my hyundai until 2019, 3rd rebuild back to VR.
The rear original Top perfect hi lo set was used for 19 years until leak then rebuild .....
Stock have what. It covers the shaft, not covering the spring tho.How many of you cover the shock absorber shaft with rubber boots like the americans. Supposedly shocks will last longer.
Should have. Yours probably disintegrated. My VR have, My ex wira have, even my 1996 Hyundai have. Is a dust cover for the shaft....A lot of the older ones dont have, my old saga dont have this, I not familiar with newer cars so cant comment.
The covers are not bellow type, and they dont cover the whole shaft, some dirt can get under it, and scratch the shaft and damage the seals, thats why absorbers fail quite frequently over here.Should have.

I did. The boots prevent dirt directly splashes on the shaft. If the dirt manage to get into the seals and damage it or scratch the shaft too badly, your shocks will leakHow many of you cover the shock absorber shaft with rubber boots like the americans. Supposedly shocks will last longer.
Yup, covers just slightly more than the exposed shaft. But after long time use, the cover will tear too.....I did. The boots prevent dirt directly splashes on the shaft. If the dirt manage to get into the seals and damage it or scratch the shaft too badly, your shocks will leak
Not enough gas dy......The cover should cover the whole shaft when its on the ground. Cannot see it when its lifted, its not enclosed as well.
My stock KYB shocks arent even leaking when I changed it few days back. Thats 8 years old, but the shaft doesn't have any force anymore. Even retreating up takes ages.
