Suggest you pre-purchase the rivets from one of the vendors here on-line. Local stealer dinged me $ 36.00 for package of ( 10 ) !!!
Having an issue with ABS locking up my front right when backing down my steep driveway. Might need to have ride heights adjusted, although vehicle is pretty level with new strut ??

Thats good to hear. I think arnott has good products. Maybe better than OEM. I dont think these air struts should be failing on a 55,000 mile car. I think my air strut is definitely done with. It is not bottomed out but it is lower than all the others. When I go over rough roads i get a kinda clunking noise. Does this sound familiar? Maybe we can put together a DIY on how to replace the air strut. It sounds like it isnt a very difficult job but it is always helpful when there are pictures and guidance to go off of!
