More than likely your rear struts as the newage are prone for rear strut failure!

If your car is still under warranty then they should replace as part of the warranty as I had mine replaced under warranty.

Hope this helps

Can have them stripped and refurbed mate but tbh your better off upgrading or replacing the struts :-)

You've just got to wonder if you would be wasting your time and money swapping like for like ... those on ebay could knock just as much and you have been through the effort of swapping.

What are they new?
