I saw that. And like I said earlier he RR was always known to fail. I had to replace one myself when mine hit 10 years and 45k miles but that didn't bother me knowing I had been using a controller and driving at a lowered height. For you replacement to fail so early is alarming is all I'm trying to say. I mean how can you blame just that part in a year and 12k? Sounds like something else is contributing to it is all. If you want to go the OEM route by all means go ahead, just know you have options.

It just seemed to happen at the point of sale. The sad part is that it failed just after the 12mo warranty on replacements.

Well, I've got until Saturday to decide whether to do this or not. I can live with the clunk but the occasional louder pops are what bother me. However I am a little unsettled by the fact the line says replace the air shock and re-check for noise.
