2013 ZL1 Both Rear Struts are BLOWN (44,000 Miles)
3 Attachment(s)
I just replaced both rear struts at almost $1000 for the pair of struts :mad2::mad2: (no labor). I have just over 44,000 miles on the car. Here are a few pictures of what I took out !!
Has anyone else had the same issue?? |
no warranty????

You didn't need to cut the wires...you can "depin" the weatherpack. I had mine out yesterday and they were dry. I only have 13K miles.
|
I didn't have anything on hand to get the old pins out of the connector so I improvised.
|
Somebody else had posted the made it 60k or so, and that GM told him that they don't last long.
Yay. |
Out of curiosity, besides the obvious wetness on the struts, did something else make you look at them? Like, did you notice anything changing in the ride quality or handling? I ask because I've been fighting a weird rear suspension problem and the dealership hasn't been able to find anything.

70000 km is not bad.
|
Sounds pretty close to the life I got out of normal struts in my other GM vehicles.

I guess at times we just have to deal with it. I ended up with an 1100.00 mistake, the rear end tail happy kind of mistake! I had to replace the LCA and have two wheels repaired. I would hope I get the same mileage out of my struts. How long were you expecting them to last?

I know you are upset, but they are a wear item. 44K miles is a tad bit premature, but it's not out of the question:
