JOM coilover warranty? update 11/05/13
« on: 03 April 2013, 18:30 »
How do, Ive got a set of JOM coilovers on my car and they were brand new when i brought them and were fitted lastyear on 26/07/2012. so around 8months old

the last few weeks the drivers front shock seemed to be getting harder and harder and im getting a really bad vibration/steering wheel shake at around 70mph.

Under closer inspection the driverside front shock seems to be leaking  :lipsrsealed:

Where do I stand with warranty?

anyone ever dealt with problems with JOM coilovers?

cheers

I tried to get mine replaced under warranty with the exact same problem. I got absolutely nowhere with it, JOM replied to e-mail in broken english and wanted nothing to do with it.

The vibration/steering wheel shake is probably unrelated though...lost wheel weight maybe, checked for bulges in tyres?

Someone else had a shocking experience with JOM on here with some  lights, I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole now

I had two faulty fronts. They were really helpful, I had to purchase the replacements though. But as soon as they collected the faulty parts the purchased shocks were refunded in a few days.

They didn't offer me this solution but I asked if it was possible, to which they agreed. Give them an email, see what they say I suppose!

Where did you buy them from? It the sellers responsibility to sort this. You will still have 1 year warranty against defects?

As Wazzzer says, it's a manufacturers warranty. The company you buy them through just refers you directly to JOM.
