Such bad luck... after 2 months with a used set of struts (20k miles), one of the rear ones blew. At this point I wonder if the combination Swift springs (had them for about 4 years) and poor road conditions are causing the OEM struts to blowout sooner. My suspension gets a workout here because there are steep transitions at bridges on the freeway, and it feels like hitting a speed bump at freeway speeds.

So with tax season approaching I may budget $1k for new struts, and then get new tires later this year. So Koni Yellow with the Swifts?
