Help on KYB AGX Shocks
Help on KYB AGX Shocks Hey guys I am having trouble putting the front struts on. We got the new springs on and all that. I cant get the bottom bar to twist where it mounts on the lower a arm. I have tried a vise to break it loose but no luck. What do I do now?

Uh oh! On the box one is marked P and the other G.
Adjustment Tabs should face towards the engine and the lower tabs should not be moved at all.

I run them on 2. Started with 1 but it was unloading about 20 ft. out and blowing the tires off. You will have play around with them and see what works best for for you combo.

I had a shop install mine because I did not want to mess with springs (scary stuff). They put them in with the adjustment ***** facing the tires. They have been like this for several years. So this is not correct?

n2ocamaro I just put mine on 2 weeks ago. I was gonna put the tabs facing out, but the lower perch or tab that sits in the lower A arm did not match the angle of the lower A arm. So I popped open the other box and sure enough the angle was matched with the adjustment tab facing inward.
I could not believe it when I discovered that the tabs would face inward, but it was the only way it would work without having to get a vice and move it. I do not remember what part number P or G belong to each side but the front struts had different part numbers from KYB. One KYB box said P the other G.
If you have been driving like this since the install and have had no problems, I would not worry about it guys. I would think it be a waste of time to do the work again.

That's how I installed mine.. No problems at all. The ***** face the engine. Seemed to me that if they faced the wheel it'd be pretty hard to adjust them unless you took the wheel off, and I'm too lazy to keep taking off my wheel to adjust my shocks
