So the story goes.....I took my car to a "shop" to get new shocks put in. that was at 101k miles on the car. the shock were excel shocks. I am at 120k miles on those shocks with lowering springs. I took the car to subaru to get it inspected to correct a negative camber in the back paserger wheel. its at -.04 now. Subaru says that all 4 of my shocks that are less than 19k miles are shot and need to be replaced. also that bad wheel has a bent shock. I would like to know how long shocks with lowering spings will last? The can of worms that might be is that the SHOP charged me for shocks and it is possiable that nothing was done to the car at all. that is something im looking into now. Thanks for you imput in advance.
