After dealing with the struts not working for four years, I sent them to Shane and he sent me pictures of the parts he removed from the struts (one of the adjusting rods did not have a hole in it for a pin and the other was broken and the missing part was not in the strut housing). Let's just say that I felt rather ripped off. When I got them back from Shane, the front worked as it should have four years earlier. It even picked up the front end so much that we had to back off the extension. Shane provided great customer service, and I will definitely be using him for future rebuilds.
wow what kind of struts were these? 1200 bucks is a lot to rebuild them. |

| From what I am reading here that Competitive Solutions would the go to for Strange strut or shock freshen up. Anyone know if this is due to a turnover in help at Strange? |

I've never dealt with Strange but I can tell you that Shanes turnaround was quick, his price was very reasonable and he called me to discuss exactly what he found with my shocks (dual Afco's on an old Race-Tech dragster), what he was doing to them & what adjustments he thought I should make. When I got them back they looked about as close to brand new as you can expect and worked perfectly. To be fair, there was nothing really wrong with them but my car is a 2003 and I figured it was probably overdue... Shane confirmed that when he took them apart that while there was no damage inside, the oil was as thin as water and he could see they definitely had some age & wear on them. Sometimes there are people outside of a company that have more practical experience with a product than the manufacturer and more freedom to do what needs to be done - anyone who runs a Terminator or Flying Toilet will tell you to call James Monroe and not Ron's for purchases & tech advice for example!
