ST coilover warranty
So about 3 weeks ago I was installing my ST coilovers. The piston rod snapped on the last strut while bolting down. I talked to the shop purchased from and they have submitted a claim to their distributor. The distributor has filed a claim with ST. It’s been two and a half weeks with no response. I haven’t been able to drive my car for 3 weeks and I really am getting impatient. I can buy a new strut for I believe 250$ or 300$ directly from ST. But I wish someone would just get to my claim. What would you guys do?

IMO - the shop you bought them from should bring you in a new set and then make the claim themselves.

For installation error when the buyer installed it themselves? It's not like they were defective out of the box.

The torque spec for the top nut is 26 lb/ft front and 15 rear. Not too hard to over-do that and have it break off.

So after waiting an entire month for KW/ST to respond, I decided to order a brand new strut. They took three days to get it out of the factory and I requested expedited shipping. It gets better. They shipped it as ground. I don’t know if it was just my agent who was incompetent but I had to babysit him. The guy would not call you back for the life of him.
Very very unhappy with their support. |
