Anybody ever use the MEVOTECH Part # MP901970 front shock mount - sold at Rock Auto? Just wondering about the quality and if they are good to use - I know they cost a lot less than the KYB mounts.Any input appreciated.
Well. My Mevotech right side shock mount broke. Kept wondering what all that rattle/pop/shimmy crap was. Well I finally got tired of it and decided to pull off each shock to see if they were shot as the wheels felt like boing-boing-boing from a bad shock (brand new tires, new tierods, and new LCA frame bushings). When I got to the pass side, I noticed the ARC bracket was sitting way down in the hole. Pulled the shock off and found a sunken mount. I think these mounts had maybe less than 4 years of service.Most Mevotech stuff is the cheap Chinee crap.
Let's look at it this way - how much is it going to cost you to replace that shock mount? What is your time worth? Now, how much extra does that KYB cost?
I used the KYB on my car - it rides a LOT better than it did with the original rubber in there.
(I think the new KYB shocks had a bit to do with that also ... )
