Aldan Coilover/Shocks

[Xavier]

This same thing happened to many, many Lonestars who built the cars about 2 years ago. You can go to the Lonestar forum and poke around. The story we got was that they would rebuild them at no charge, and their service is great, they stand behind their product. But, a lot of us who built our cars around 2005 / 2006 experienced these same issues. Some got frustrated and went to QA1's, but I believe it is a different height offered, great for 17" wheels, not so good for higher profile 15" (uncomfirmed). Some stayed with Aldan's because they took care of the issue without question and handled it at no cost. Nearly all of us during this time had leaky shocks within the first hundred miles. Someone stated that there was something made out of spec, or produced by someone with something sub-standard; but the thought was once it was rebuilt it was fine. Mainly everyone's rears were leaking, but some leaked in the front as well. Others just went with QA1, but that is an expensive option.

I have to send two of mine in for rebuild, and was thinking about waiting until the winter and just send in all four. If you built yours around this time, I would say it is very, very typical. You might be saving time and frustration by pulling off all 4.

I had the QA1s on my car for 8 years with no problems. They were 12 way adjustable and very easy to adjust. Took about 30 seconds to adjust the rebound on all 4. I also ran 15" wheels and tires.
