RE: [DML] doors sagging after replaced struts

["Kermit Poling" <KPoling@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The struts usually run about $40 a piece for the doors.   They are really
not difficult to put on at all.   Properly adjusted doors with new struts
should not sag.although I guess it could happen a bit if it is really really
cold.  Perhaps the struts were NOS that have been laying around for a long
time.   I've bought struts in the past from two of the main vendors and had
no problems.

Subject: [DML] doors sagging after replaced struts

 

The DMC we just bought had door struts that didn't work, doors closed 
completely. The car was at a Ford dealer who worked on it previously. 
He replaced the struts and we were quoted $200 for door/trunk struts + 
labor. They delivered the car the other day and the new struts are on. 
But the driver door sages 25% and the passenger door sags 50%. We were 
also charged $300 for the install for some bs reason they gave us 
after the fact. Is sagging normal or were we ripped off?
