I’m glad it’s under warranty but , a leaking strut after 20k is pretty concerning and I’ve owned many vehicles and have not had a strut leak at such low mileage. I noticed an oil spot on the garage floor , looked quickly but didn’t notice anything glaring . Took another look as something had to be leaking , not a driveshaft etc .. then of course wet strut.
I’m hoping they get replaced as a set but it may take a little convincing …

OEMs only last a few years. One the warranty replacements fail there are better aftermarket options. I only have about 10,000 miles on Eibachs but the bouncy ness is gone and from what I’ve heard they can last much longer

Yup, just replaced my shocks with KYB Monomax.

Thread about it here.
