I know you meant to say that you warranted the inserts, right?  My 2nd set
(on the Jetta) actually failed after 2 months, but the report they did
revealed metal shavings from the manufacturer had compromised the seal.
Their lifetime warranty is why I went with Bilstein in the first place; so I
only have to pay for the alignment and R & R.
