Default Are Subaru Struts Made Of Chocolate?

Took my car to T&C in Aberdeen today to get my brakes looked at. Was certain that the discs were warped, but wasnt sure, as the car is only 6 months old with 4000miles on the clock....

Well....They sure confirmed that my brakes were shot AND 3 of my shockers have gone as well!!!!

I thought subaru had sorted the shocker issue out AGES ao, as I remember having to get my Bugeye STi rears, changed under warranty.

On the plus side, got my TSL Ti-Phoon backbox fitted the other day - Sounds fricking ace!!

Very odd. Warranty job with that mileage I'd have thought.

Thankfully yes! Have to wait for the parts coming in though. have to be honest and say that I didnt even know that the struts were knackered, so fair play or them noticing when checking the brakes.

You might have some joy in the for sale section in here and SIDC mate. A lot of guys are upgrading to coilovers etc, because the standard ones keep busting.
