I replaced the rear upper shock mounts on my 05 Enthusiast (135k miles) using KYB SM5482 (2 kits needed) to resolve a squeaking that I had in the rear. This issue is FIXED and my ride is SO much quieter. My thinking is that the old rubber in the mount gets dry and noisy on the metal bushing inside as the suspension travel compresses and expands the rubber mount pieces.
Here is a picture of the old upper mount & new KYB upper mount components side-by-side.
OK, it was a busy today. I also added a Panavise mount for a cellphone holder, replaced the shift boot with a Z1 leather shift boot, and then I replaced the front brake calipers, caliper carriers, rotors & pads and bled the brakes. It drives and stops so much quieter now
Had the Ray Volks GTR-C's refinished from a chrome light grey to a powder coated solid darker metallic Grey. Need a fresh pic because, I just got the re-painted caps back on. Amazed because this 15 year old wheels look brand new!
