How long are Spec B Bilsteins supposed to last?

Recommended Posts

I have a 34k miles on my spec b. On big bumps, the struts squeak. I was just wondering how long these struts last, i didn't know if that was something that is kinda normal or not. I can't remember when it started. I just heard that the sti bilsteins can die by 40k miles, and if mine are almost dead i wanna take it in to try and get them replaced under warranty before the warranty is up. Thanks.

Squeeking != dead. (it's probably just the top hats or a bushing somewhere)

 

Dead/dying shock/strut == bouncy bouncy over bumps (takes longer for the struts to cancel out the springs oscillations)

 

Do you have any suspension modifications?

Ok cool thanks guys, I'll try re-greasing them. Its not a big deal, only happens over potholes and bumps when I'm driving slow and its colder out... Just wanted to make sure my struts were ok before the warranty expired.
