    • Excellent replacement for stock shocks - Easy install
Replaced both stock struts, one blown and leaking. Ride, noise and steering very solid again. These are great replacement struts and shocks, with a slightly stiffer ride, but solid handling feel with the stock springs to keep stock height. All the brackets in perfect position, high quality welds and everything installed right back to stock specs perfectly. Note- replaced the strut mounts (front) and upper mounts (for rear shocks), strut bellows/boots and a few sway bar bushings to get everything done and leave nothing to chance for noises and bumps and creaks, everything nice and tight and quiet. Amazon carried all these parts and for much less than our local auto parts shop prices. Amazon with PRIME will get plenty of my business with their great prices and good brand names and quality products. ... show more

    • Good replacement.
Easy to install. Replaced the mounts also since one was broken anyway. Car now rides significantly smoother. Well worth the money.

    • Japanese Gas-Shock Quality
I've had 'em on for 3 months+ now and Definetly the ride quality increases. They're A LOT Firmer than the original 2008 Mazda3, kind of rough at first but they get comfortable as you use them. That's just how Gas shocks work, a lot more responsive, less head-tilting, less Body-roll of the car. The important thing is that they behave almost like a sport ride on the open Road and highway, No bouncing all the way through, adding a great new deal of control and Handling. ... show more

    • Great shocks!
Replaced the factory ones from a 2006 Mazda3 2.0L with these ones. Great set of shocks. Very easy to install and no fitment issues with the lower mount at all. Just remember to support the axle with a jack and raise it so the holes line up. You will likely have it raised already when you removed the old shock so keep it there. You'll know when they've lined up because the bolt gets easier to remove and reinstall. I've had zero installation issues with this shock. Some tips before you go and remove the old shock. Spray the two top mounting bolts with PB Blaster or some form of liquid wrench. They will help break it loose. You'll need some deep sockets and an extension as well. They aren't torqued on there too tightly. Around 21ft lbs. I also bought the mounting bracket to replace the old one. The factory one is 12 years old. After removing it and inspecting it, there are indications of it degrading so they were replaced. Took it out for a test drive and it tracked well. The loud clunk in the rear is gone as the OEM shocks were well past the worn stage. ... show more

    • Very reliable and great performance
Very easy to install. I didn't have to pay to get this done, it only took just about 20 minutes per shocks using a floor jack and a couple of tools. Good quality shocks, improved the ride and handling, I have been using this brand for a very long time on other cars and I have no complaints.

    • New rear shocks did the trick. KYB seems to be a decent brand and priced well with positive reviews.
KYB REAR SHOCKS......Purchased for a 2010 Mazda5 with 129,000 miles. Had issue with vehicle "shaking" over little bumps in the road. I could feel the vibration through out the whole car. I first changed the rear stabilizer bar links as I could see a ripped boot on one. Still "shaking".The rear shocks were the next project. They are easy to remove. I assume these were the original factory shocks. There are several you-tube videos on removal and installation for Mazda3 and Mazda5. My vehicle did not have any rust on the bolts so no issues there. WD40 anyway to make things easier. Took less than 2 hours to replace both shocks in my driveway. The passengers side old shock seemed OK but the drivers side was defiantly bad. The drivers side was more of a struggle to install. It almost seems like the new shock is short for that side. I had to back down the top mount nuts an inch to bolt in the single lower bolt then tighten the top nuts again. Maybe a Mazda design flaw? Again the old drivers side was the one that was bad, so only time will tell how long the new KYB will last. Took for a test run and WOW what a huge difference the "shake" is gone. I also purchased the KYB shock mount but wound up using the old original mount. ... show more

    • So far so good…
Installed less than a year, but so far so good. I tried KYB this time for the first, because I got tired of the usual parts store stocked brands being constant junk. Heard good things about KYB & found they’re not usually a in-stock part in the chain stores & I couldn’t afford Bilstien shocks. For the time since I installed them I’ve had no complaints & im happy with the ride & responsiveness in the handling. Just can’t speak to longevity yet. ... show more

    • KYB brand not what it use to be?
2009 Mazda 5 Like all auto parts, check before installing. I recently had 4 of these in hand, two of them were no good. Either they did not return to an extended position after being compressed, or there was no resistance when being compressed. Not good.. I may just buy the no name brands in the future if paying more does not warrant the quality you expect. Super easy to install and the two good shocks that were installed fixed all the issues. I am skeptical though on their longevity now. Shocks were made in Mexico. ... show more
