For me I'll go with tokunbo
Cause even Nigeria is not a brand new co untry

Kashif:


LOL!

But those branded shops markup to high heavens. I doubt if the original shocks are that expensive.

I am currently looking for original kyb. Was told 45k for front and 40k for rear, having doubts....the kyb I installed in the front did not last

Meetleader:


Oga... just tell us that u changed all the changeable in ur car... hmmm... u try sir...

ironheart:

Autopartz:


For which vehicle so that we can confirm the fair price for you.

Kashif:


Toyota RAV4 2007. I now think it's within range. I was feeling the quote was a little low for the original.

Populus:
I have a Toyota Camry 2001 (Drop Light). I was advised to change the shock absorbers when I noticed some funny noises each time the car bumped into a gallop. I changed the four shock absorbers in March 2017 and didn't really get value for money because the noise only reduced rather than disapear. I complained to my mechanic and that I wanted a new shock absorber and he told me a tokunbo is far better because the new ones don't last. Now I changed the shock absorbers again last month (October 2017) and it's even worse off! PLEASE I need to know:
1. Is a tokunbo shock absorber truly better than a new one? (Although I think a new one should be better)
2. Where in Festac Town can I get a good mechanic? (Not the flambouyant autoshops that know next to nothing speaking grammer in their air conditioned office.)
3. Where can I get very good shock absorbers? (New or Tokunbo) Note:The ones fitted in my car where bought from Ladipo Market!
4. What is the price range for these Shock absorbers?

GAZZUZZ, CarDoctor et al. Your Input will be highly appreciated.

Bought brand new shocks for my car last week. And before you said I bought fake it’s original. My Mech told me I’ll get it for 17k I went to where it’s sild. The thing is if you visit these stores and don’t price well they’ll sell an item worth $1 for $100. Don’t be scared to price.

radautoworks:


Let us know how that turned out in 6 months

bigcil2:


Unfortunately I ended up buying it 3 times. Best is toks shock for 30k . Learnt my lesson

radautoworks:


Hehe. I won't run it in then.

You did see that the brand new Monroe are cheaper than the toks 30k shocks right?

Rayd502:

No it is not. I've said it a thousand times and i'll say it again. ALL THE KYBs YOU SEE HERE ARE FAKE EXCEPT OURS. anyone seller want to call me on it, bring your own and put next to ours.
Language a little janky but this is VERY detailed https://www.drive2.com/b/349431/

That's why we don't bring KYB and bring in Monroe instead. I'm tired of answering why ours are more expensive smh.

Genuine Kyb Shock absorbers

dicksonadams:


Interesting... Nurey China shocks been serving him for 2 years

VolvoS60:

But even after replacing the engine mounts, the noises remained. By now, mechanic and customer were both very tired. [b]Mechanic then decided to do a complete check and re-tightening of all nuts and bolts on suspension parts, engine bay area and the body/chassis. It took time but the noisemakers were finally, finally expelled!
