Strutmaster shock/strut replacement

[bsloan]

Good afternoon...a few years ago I installed Strutmaster shocks and struts to replace the ever failing air ride system. I need to replace the two rear ones that have since failed but Strutmaster will not sell me individual units and requires me to buy all four. Has anyone found a source or other brand that will work as I don't want to buy all four when I do not need them yet I am not seemingly unable to find another source in my searches other than Strutmaster and I got less than 50k miles on this brand and would rather find a better shock/strut manufacturer.

I dont know about any brands specifically that would work, but I have heard that springs/struts from a Kia K900 will work as well. I dont know if this is true or not, so maybe someone else can confirm this, but if they do work, you can probably find what youre looking for on Ebay or at a junkyard for pretty cheap.

See I own k900 with Air Suspension if it drop one day I will order new coil spring (rear) and new shock absorber (front) for k900 USA version it's providing best experience

Hello, is the chassis of Genesis I identical to the Equus chassis?

Genesis 4.6 is also available with standard chassis.

Hence the question as to whether one could take spring struts from the Geni?

I also installed Strutmaster and am also critical of the quality. I think the chassis is a bit too hard. After 15,000 km the first irregularities become noticeable.
