Well saturday as im cleaning out the car a bit I have it backed halfway into the garage for a few hours... pull it out later and there is a puddle of fluid sittin just inside of where the rear wheel was... Brake fluid? nope... strut fluid. @%$@#!ARRRGH!!!!! Look up at thestrut.housing and sure enough there is fluid everywhere... look at the other side and I see a smaller puddle. great. so my struts are leaking/blown less than 24 hours after I replaced them. I think my car is cursed.
Its a good thing I bought both rear struts off of the guy parting out his max, because I took out the one I thought was good and it turns out to be blown too. Great. So I get the new (used) struts in with the help of a friend and several heavily inturrupted hours of work. Take the car out to test it and the new Rear calipers i put on as well. All seems excellent, brakes work better than ever, and the rear seems to be quite improved.
