another faulty shock??
« on: 19 November 2009, 16:41 »
well i thought replacing the originally fitted jom shock with its replacement would cure the noise well it has........until now! and my 2nd shock is now doing the same back to creaking again i know wes has had problems and jonny also looking at his the other afternoon both his rears are noisy so mines in the hands of dpm to see what to do and just my luck the years warranty ran out in october!! :sad: :angry: but as i had a replacement iirc june time would this still be acceptable as would the year be for that one or am i just hoping  :undecided: as i'm waiting for dpm to speak to jom and if its bad news looks like i'l be ripping the jom stuff off  :cry: :sick: and looking for another set up any info greatly recieved  :wink:

not sure how the car industry works but normally the replacement item takes you to the end of the original warranty period so if it was replaced in June then technically you only get 4 months warranty, not 12  :sad:

Lets hope JOM replace it out of goodwill  :smiley:

cheers for quick reply rhys was gutted to see the warranty had expired and now the replacements done the same thing my luck that
so from what you say i'v had it on the 2nd one to  :laugh: oh well looks like suitable replacement time then and expense like you say unless jom are willing to offer a goodwill gesture  :undecided: hopefully as this is at least 3 people on here i know its a small amount compared to people thats actually brought/fitted their jom kit but even so for me another faulty one within 6 months  :huh:
