Front is one digit less.
You might want to consider or place to shop as we have a warrenty
program that is better than any store.
Call me on our toll free line and I'll explain. If not wothwhile I
will not be offended at all as I understand that you have choices.

KYB's do have a life time warranty.
Dealing with Jim it's a no hassle warranty.

I see JimK has written about his backing of KYB. My experience was that I went on the Internet and found Happy Sam's Pretty Good Shock Company and ordered my KYBs. (Sam may sell a little Whole Life in the back room and perhaps the odd washing machine.) When it was all done, they were more expensive than JimKs and I didn't get them for almost two weeks. I was putting them on in the dark as we were leaving the next morning.

(I am not affiliated with JimK's shop, but ShocksRUs didn't do it for me.)

Is the warranty on the coach or the buyer, and without the paper as a new owner
and the kyb's still on the coach how do I prove it.

Rivers,

I interpret the first sentence from Jim K's message; "Should you have any
problems with product you purchase from Applied GMC" to mean Jim K will
warranty what he sells.

It is reasonable for him to expect the individual requesting warranty to
provide evidence that the parts came from his company.

I don't think it is reasonable to expect Jim K to warranty something that
some other company such as Autozone, O'Reilly, Napa, or any other store
sold.

Rob M.

Jim, my name is Rivers I have a 77 eleganza that I have been working on for 2 1/2
years and I'm not sure how to check the shocks. On my 79 pinto I just push down
on the corners of the car and check the bounce, I find it hard to do that on the MH,
other than the fact they are not leaking, what can I do.
thanks Rivers

If they look old just change them for KYB's. Not hard to do and then you know you are good to go and no longer have to worry about it. It's about 1 GMC unit. Give JimK a call, he's on your end of the country.
