You just proved you did not spend much time on searching old posts.

I did not check if the AMG struts are different and if Arnott supplies those.

Search for Airmatic threads and you can find a lot of posts, although mostly concerning 2003 MY.

Welcome to the forum.

I am curious to find out what is the cost break down? Which parts are being replaced? $8000 seems a lot.

great to see your warranty covered $24k!!!!!! Which one is that??

BTW you could just buy the shock from arnott industries for $400 and either DIY or take it to an indy dealer.
