  • "top hats" for Kia Rio Struts&Mounts

    Hi, I am tying to find the top hats for the 2001 Kia Rio. I want to swap my struts & mounts, but was told that I need the top hat, and the KYB struts do not include the top hat. Anyone know where I can locate these?

      Rio hats ought to be easy to locate at a JY or U-Pull just watch yourself when releasing the spring. Also they aren't very expensive when bought new. You might consider buying Rio front shocks while you're at it since there is a bit of modification involved to mate 7/16" thick Aspire/Festy shock rods to the 1/2" Rio holes. That and concocting a raised washer arrangement to ensure the shocks ride directly on the top hats and not outside of the bearing surfaces.
