Default Broken Tein

I brought my car into the dealer the other day for a creaking noise coming from the front passenger side. The dealer said that it was the strut. Now these Tein SS's are less than 2 years old, how do i go about replacing it? Does Tein warranty these and for how long?

These will not be under warrnaty, but you can contact them as they do rebuild colivers in the US. From what I remember, a rebuid of seals, etc, runs approximately $75 each? If they are to find anything else, prices goes up from there. That of couse does not include shipping and handling. Hope that helps a little.

What happens if you don't get a strut rebuilt after it has blown?

I had this problem with my Tein CS, the front passenger was damaged, I just replaced the whole unit, didnt want to take it off and send it back and wait for it to be fixed, so I paid the $400 for a new one
