That's not many miles for suspension replacement - as I said above, nothing replaced on mine yet after 40,000 plus miles and over 5 years. Were they covered by the dodgy third year of warranty?

I enjoy using the extra power of the twin air. At 40-50mph on a bend in a dual carriageway, the back end would shift sideways if the car hit a pothole. The rubber bushes on the rear shocks were soft and beginning to break up. The front suspension was clonking on the passenger side. The top mount on that side (after market) with SKF bearings showed movement, even though it was replaced 6 months ago. I decided to get the whole thing done properly. Fiat top mounts, I dismantled the Rollax bearings and added a load more bearing grease, Monroe shocks all round, new front shock bump stops and drop links. The drive is now spot on and the front suspension wasn’t this quiet when the car was new, so very happy.

I didn't bother to ask, as probably it was within their tolerances etc with wear and tear... I just found it sloppy!

I purchased Fiat top mounts, I know the guys at my local indy well and they did the rest.... Total cost was £610 inc tracking etc. It sounds like a lot, but I am actually over the moon on the way it has transformed the car.
