Default So both of my front struts are leaking...

Have the RS4 in at the dealer to get the DRC looked at. I noticed the left front strut leaking a couple of weeks ago, but the car is at the dealer and now it turns out that both front struts are leaking.

Lovely.

The Stasis SLs may be getting installed sooner than later...

Default How many miles on the car when you noticed?

I can't believe how common this problem seems - I feel like I should be checking my struts every time I stop for gas...

Seems like you just bought the dang thing. Not good. SL's for sure.

Default Mine is in the dealer

For both front struts again. Both were changed before delivery and now at under 5000 miles, they have both failed again.

Parts are not in yet, or so I have been told. This sucks out loud.

I plan to Stasis one of these days, but I was hoping to get a little further into ownership first.

Default They said they'll have it there in 6 days, so I'm assuming not...

I'm scheduled to bring it back in next Tuesday
