my teins super street strut broke at the top of the shaft bellow the nut that holds the top of the strut in place .I have to send the strut to teint and and hope for a new one I am holding my true opinion till the matter is resolved . I am one lucky person that it did no other damage or cause one magor crash. Tein is race quality parts right ? what is every one else opinion @1200$ what do exspect. . some one spell check this

 

sounds like prob just got the one bad one outta em all

 

Mine are holding up fine so far (although I only have about 6k on them), but the right front still makes an annoying creek from time to time, Some days it's noisy, some days it's not.

 

that sucks!! but anyway you shold try to contact tein and get it replaced or have the people u bought them from do it. either way either get them replaced from tein or get your money back from tein

 

Could have been an installation FUBAR to account for it perhaps.

 

Yah, it does seem like you got the sour apple on this case.

 

That is true, it could be an installation error. I know someone on this forums (who shall remain anonymous) who had his put on by some well known shop that is now out of business (still anonymous) and didn't compress the spring enough and when the shock fully extended the spring fell off the perch an scraped the $h*t out of his shock and the inside fender! Although I'm not sure how anything like that could result in a blown shock, especially since this guy heard it when it happened. So my bet is still on defective merchandise.

and just for the record, that person isn't me and I believe the shop went out of business (just before I bought something from them, too )

 

Yeah, they're out of business.

The tubes on the Teins are actually quite thick. Despite a lot of scraping, his shocks still held pressure just fine and had NO leakage. I don't know about the cause, but good luck either way.

And despite the grammar being iffy, the spelling was right on point, shaggy.

 

too bad the body and the boot squeak... or at least that's my suspension guy's guess for my right front squeak. They function perfectly though, and the noise is barely noticeable... with the radio on or the windows down

 

yea....they're pretty hurt...im hoping soon i can send them back to tein to get fully rebuilt. they do make some annoying noises too. shaggy, i'd like to know how you went about returning it to tein.
