mbtech, yes they said that they only replaced one side...but its possible for the other side to go bad in a matter of days? im just worried that they are going to blame my lowered susspension.

clean and lube all mating surfaces
replace left rear mounting bracket
lube right side mounting bracket
what do you think...was what needed to be done..done? or should i expect to have to go back again...like the last time they supposedly fixed it? thanks
