They have a warranty i know that. But usually they last a long time. You would have to find out when they were put on and even if the prev owner registered them to see if they are still under warranty. I've heard nothing bad about tokicos on any car. IOS infiniti of scottsdale, Infinitipartsusa.com has tok's fairly good priced. 70 a pop i think.

warranty is to original purchaser only, with original sales receipt.

Shock warranty is a tricky thing. Besides which for the most part labor is usually more then parts. I have warranted some KYB shocks once, but you needed to have a dealer that sold enough of them that he could make his supplier go to bat.

I'd just buy some new ones and call it a day. You really have no other options, the blues are better built then the stockers and one more set should last you a heck of a long time.

Right on thanks guys I guess I will fork out the money for some new ! Any leads on springs?, or did all the manufacturers quit making them ? Should I cut the factory springs a little ?
