Arnott air struts

[ekimv65]

Morning All,

I have purchased a set of replacement air bags for my 2006 X5 4.8IS driver and passenger side fronts only. I installed them and buttoned up the front end only to start the car and have them inflate and leak back down to the ground in less than 30 seconds. I installed them and checked the directions again, re-installed them, only to have the same result.

I contacted Arnott and they were at a loss as well. I finally had had enough of installing and replacing, I called AAA and had it flat bedded to the dealer who installed the second set of air bags shipped from Arnott only to have them leak back down as occurred in the installation I had done at home.

Both the dealer and I contacted Arnott, same result, perplexed. As a result they chipped a set of remanufactured complete struts to the dealer who installed them returning my vehicle on Saturday last weekend. This morning, I opened the garage door only to find the passenger side deflated again!!!

This is getting ridiculous, I just had the alignment shop do the alignment yesterday for $250.00. This is getting ridiculous!!!!



Anyone else have this kind of nightmare!!!?
