Car Forum / Subaru Cars / January 2008Re: Blown Strut 04 OBW
It's well known in the U.K. motor trade that large tyre firm employee are encouraged to squirt oil on struts and shocks in order to sel more of them. If I were you , I'd wipe off the oil and check th strut over a couple of weeks to see if it leaks any more, or take th car to a mechanic you can trust. Tyre dealers are, in my (and man other peoples) opinion, about as honest as politicians Outback struts ARE weak. I blew one on my 04. I am very disappointed there arent heavy duty struts on outbacks. The best would be regular shocks which can easily be replaced On Jan 1, 10:36 am, steve.lice...@tesco-dot-net.no-spam.invalid > It's well known in the U.K. motor trade that large tyre firm employees > are encouraged to squirt oil on struts and shocks in order to sell [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > ---= Fast & Free Web Portal to Usenet Newsgroups =--- > -------------=http://www.ugroups.com/=------------- > Outback struts ARE weak.

Costs more but last long and gives better riding/handling. |
