Hello. I had my front end struts replaced a few months ago, and both became broken, and were replaced again for free (still under warranty) now the left side is rattling again (the same noise it made before. The repair shop said it must be faulty struts. . what do you think?

Hello –-

May sound strange but it is possible. I have changed a set within a week once. It may be a bad batch of struts. It happens. I know it is inconvenient for you but as long as they are willing to replace for free – continue and be understanding. Remember, they are not making any money the second time and loosing money the third time.
