When I bought my car just over 2 years ago, it had Bilsteins on it that
turned out to be toast - all 4 of 'em.  How rare is THAT?!  But, no worries,
a certain list supplier managed to get them warrantied for me despite the
fact that I was not the original purchaser and had no receipt.. brandy new
ones for nada!  I expect these to last virtually forever..
