BlackMess Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Bought 4 new KYB GR2's for the FD and go to intall them and follow the procedure about compressing and pulling the rod I perform this probably 6 times and when the rod is compressed it still will not rebound on its own, I have to put it in my vice and hang on it. Funny thing is all 4 wont rebound. I contacted KYB and they had no answers. I contacted the supplier I bought them through and they assure me this is totally normal. I hate to put them on the car and they potentially be defective. Has anyone seen this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMess Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 They were banded but when I received them the rod had sunk and the band was just laying in the box.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
