Could a bad install have blown my strut. The spring is not seated correctly and there is oil dripping from the top of the boot. Any help is appreciated!

Any help is appreciated! robtheqb2003 06-10-2008, 01:46 AM Yup, sounds like its blown. If there is leaking and you know the spring was not seated right, could be. Is it bouncing like crazy??? Gambit7 06-10-2008, 02:05 AM They were new in the box, but I had them in storage for 2 years so my warranty is gone. The car doesn't bounce at all. That's what amazed me when I saw it. They were just installed about a week ago. kanundrum 06-10-2008, 02:06 AM is this on all of them or just one ? which one ? robtheqb2003 06-10-2008, 03:32 AM they leak for awhile before they are completely bouncy. You should notice a difference though... tcCALI 06-10-2008, 08:36 AM ahha you must be driving like a mad person to blow a strut. Gambit7 06-10-2008, 01:48 PM Daily driver for about a week after installation. No crazy driving, just tough Philly streets. It's the driver side rear that was leaking. tcCALI 06-10-2008, 07:00 PM Daily driver for about a week after installation. No crazy driving, just tough Philly streets. It's the driver side rear that was leaking. ohh you still have stock struts. sorry didnt know! Gambit7 06-10-2008, 09:06 PM Daily driver for about a week after installation.

Gambit7 06-19-2008, 05:29 AM I don't know if i should say, they are attempting to find a replacement. But they are here in Philly. robtheqb2003 06-19-2008, 07:30 AM they are replacing it? Gambit7 06-19-2008, 12:41 PM They aren't claiming any responsibility. The few things that are wrong with the install they say they are going to fix. |
