Buick Ownership
04 buick lesabre custom, 01 buick lesabre limited
I need to know which KYB shock I need, mine are leaking. I see 2 choices for kyb. One comes with a 2" rubber piece on top and one comes without. kyb sr1002, sr4116.
 
Get the one with the mount. You don’t want to have to go back in there so it’s better to replace the mount now rather than later.
 
I went with the KYB's (SR 1002) for the rear shocks. So far, working great. Originally, I ordered the Monroe shocks but they arrived (damaged) and looked used, so I sent them back.
 
As a side note to the member above….There is no such thing as a LeSabre Touring edition. You have a Custom with the Gran Touring option. I have a Limited with the Gran Touring option. This can be easily spotted by the 16 inch alloy wheels which we call “bottle caps”.

Uh... did someone say touring edition or is that what KYB says?
 
I never seen grand touring on paperwork, manual or on a badge??? tell us more where did you see this info.
01 Buick Lesabre custom. also have a 04 Buick Lesabre limited.

it would be the f41(I think) option RPO. which essentially is the "firm" ride option.

Thats it, thats the only reference. Gran touring is a name kinda like how Twilight Sentinel is the automatic headlamps.

I think I spelled it out pretty well. What’s your issue?
My reply must not have posted the other day. I mis understood what you said, i thought you were essentially countering what someone said beside the OP, but you were adding information

I was referring to JGBuick’s description of his car.
 
I thought you were serious.
no lol, I added that [ ] to the second one to make it more obvious I was joking.. There wasnt anything to really prove with what I said to prove it for. <3
