Subject:Noisy KYB shocks?
From:Vernon Craddock

Hi listees,

        I recently installed a set of KYB shocks from one of the list vendors
on my '90 vanagon.  Ok, I installed the rear ones and paid a mech to do the
fronts.  Anyway, the ride is firm (expected), the handling is great, but the
bumps are excessively noisy now.  I figured they were new and would break in,
but it's been 6 weeks now.  When I hit bumps or potholes it almost sounds like
loose lumber in the back of a pickup.  Sound comes from the front on both
sides.

Any ideas?

btw, Why do they call them Gas-Adjust when there is nothing to adjust?

Thanks,
Vernon
