Subject:      Shock Absorbers, '90 Syncro
Content-Type: text/plain

Lovely news while getting my SYNCRO inspected this AM...
the mechanic pointed out my left rear shock absorber
uniformly coated in sludge, and informed me that it was
leaking and that he couldn't give me a sticker until I
replaced it. It seems to work fine, but whatever...


So do the KYB $30 shocks really suck? A complete set
of Old Man Emu's is tempting, but I'm trying to be
FRUGAL, and if the KYB's are tolerable - as in not
noticeably worse than the ancient stock shocks on
the van now - that would really be fine. But Ken's
note by the KYB's on his website - "You get what you
pay for" - has me wondering now...


Anyone wish to share their observation on the matter?
