I have replaced my strut 4 times and within a couple of week it blows out again. It make my car pretty much dance side ways at time. I don't understand why a brand new strut would go bad in such a short period of time.

Hi there,

I would be inquiring about this problem with the suppliers and checking with the installer that there is not an installation issue causing this problem.
