Review: New rear shocks did the trick. KYB seems to be a decent brand and priced well with positive reviews. - KYB REAR SHOCKS......Purchased for a 2010 Mazda5 with 129,000 miles. Had issue with vehicle "shaking" over little bumps in the road. I could feel the vibration through out the whole car. I first changed the rear stabilizer bar links as I could see a ripped boot on one. Still "shaking".The rear shocks were the next project. They are easy to remove. I assume these were the original factory shocks. There are several you-tube videos on removal and installation for Mazda3 and Mazda5. My vehicle did not have any rust on the bolts so no issues there. WD40 anyway to make things easier. Took less than 2 hours to replace both shocks in my driveway. The passengers side old shock seemed OK but the drivers side was defiantly bad. The drivers side was more of a struggle to install. It almost seems like the new shock is short for that side. I had to back down the top mount nuts an inch to bolt in the single lower bolt then tighten the top nuts again. Maybe a Mazda design flaw? Again the old drivers side was the one that was bad, so only time will tell how long the new KYB will last. Took for a test run and WOW what a huge difference the "shake" is gone. I also purchased the KYB shock mount but wound up using the old original mount.
Review: Great shocks! - Replaced the factory ones from a 2006 Mazda3 2.0L with these ones. Great set of shocks. Very easy to install and no fitment issues with the lower mount at all. Just remember to support the axle with a jack and raise it so the holes line up. You will likely have it raised already when you removed the old shock so keep it there. You'll know when they've lined up because the bolt gets easier to remove and reinstall. I've had zero installation issues with this shock. Some tips before you go and remove the old shock. Spray the two top mounting bolts with PB Blaster or some form of liquid wrench. They will help break it loose. You'll need some deep sockets and an extension as well. They aren't torqued on there too tightly. Around 21ft lbs. I also bought the mounting bracket to replace the old one. The factory one is 12 years old. After removing it and inspecting it, there are indications of it degrading so they were replaced. Took it out for a test drive and it tracked well. The loud clunk in the rear is gone as the OEM shocks were well past the worn stage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent replacement for stock shocks - Easy install
*by R***A on January 12, 2014*

Replaced both stock struts, one blown and leaking. Ride, noise and steering very solid again. These are great replacement struts and shocks, with a slightly stiffer ride, but solid handling feel with the stock springs to keep stock height. All the brackets in perfect position, high quality welds and everything installed right back to stock specs perfectly. Note- replaced the strut mounts (front) and upper mounts (for rear shocks), strut bellows/boots and a few sway bar bushings to get everything done and leave nothing to chance for noises and bumps and creaks, everything nice and tight and quiet. Amazon carried all these parts and for much less than our local auto parts shop prices. Amazon with PRIME will get plenty of my business with their great prices and good brand names and quality products.
