Kevin, The struts I sell are factory original. Interesting you would have that premature failure in any struts. If you will send them to me I would like to see how they test.

I've tried Grady's, same deal. He was shocked and replaced them after about 6 months but the replacements behaved the same in another 6 months. I'm trying the new improved DMCH pkg next (need louvre struts anyway). >Also, Does anyone have a step by step for replacing a toll booth window? I just worked out a howto for fixing window problems. It covers the removal process-- though lightly. www.mindspring.com/~kecreason/delorean/howto -Kevin Houston 4687 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Your use of Yahoo!
