scooby222 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 in for my yearly check up today(cheers to the awd guys again) and once more ive got excessive play on 3 out of 4 struts now ive got 3 weeks of warranty left but im not sure if its worth the hassle of getting them changed again as ive completed under 6000 miles on this set,22000 in total and this will be its 3rd set of shocks-no track use just fast road. so do i just go to coilovers,try different make of shocks,get warranty ones for another 6000 miles or phone up subaru and ask them to pay half of aftermarket? thoughts and recomendations? and if coilovers,which?

mystery machine Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Yes, I would query Subaru about having them contribute to some third party shocks. Hopefully they would see that it makes sense for you and for them. If they won't do that and want to be awkward, then I would certainly have them replace the existing items - if for nothing else than to buy you a few more miles before you have to dig into your own wallet! Get your money's worth out of that warranty! Link to comment
mystery machine Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 P.S. If you don't want to stick with the OEM shocks, you could always go ahead and have them fitted by the dealer under warranty, then immediately replace them with aftermarket items, then flog the originals to a friend or punt them on eBay... Just a thought - hate to see a fella not get his warranty's-worth Link to comment
