I've got KYB's on all four corners of my '85  Wolfsburg Westy.  Wallowing and
body lean is not a problem.  The ride is very firm -- bordering on harsh.  I
must be missing something 'cause after about 15K miles I'm satisfied with
them.

<< Todd and Volks:




Does this dislike of the KYB shocks on the front end apply specifically to


Westys or are the GR2's the wrong choice for a 7 passenget Vanagon too? What


is the reasoning for advising against the KYB's. Does the van wallow through


turns, or perhaps experience excessive body roll? What's the deal?
