Yep, has been posted here before!

Not good if it's true!

Having said that, there are usually two sides to any story...


At the end of the day, the guy is getting his intended result - that is, the link keeps popping up on forums etc all over the place!

RVRolla - exactly the same thing has happened to me - 3 #$@!ing times !!!!!!!!!

Fronts keep chewing themselves out and leaking.
All at around 10,000kms.
Mechanic checks them every major service.
And every time the Pedders I went to stuffs me around when they are forced to replace them again.

But they won't give me money back so I can go to someone reputable.
They just keep replacing ghem under warrantee.
Of course I'm not compensated for time away from work or train tickets etc to get around while my car is at their shop.

1 more time and I go to consumer affairs.......
Next service is due soon

I didn't get Pedders to install them, should they take them off and put newys on for free anyhow? I hope so. Cause I want to take it back and whinge to them and get them to put it on their 'special' machine that tests if they are r00ted or not...

According to that website they are Monroe items, Monroe are good qual. aren't they?

I can see this thread being locked Smile

If it weren't for personal testimony, I'd be inclined to think the author of the page is a nut. His vocabulary leaves much to be desired.

I've met some reps of Capricorn, and they're good folk- business people of course- but they seem honest. They represent an old but great vision. I can't imagine them having a "renegade conman" like Derosa as member of the co-op.

We all know that Monroe Tenneco shocks are made in Adelaide.
I also know that Pedders don't hide the fact they use them, I recall speaking to a Pedders rep on the phone and asking him who makes their shocks and he said Monroe. Simple.
I wonder where Pedders get their "sportsryder" shocks from?

Anyone else have some Pedders war stories that weren't mentioned in the last thread?

RVRolla - I think the major problem is that they think we only need to use their stock MA70 supra items.
I think that the rates are wrong for the Soarer, even though they bolt up.Shocked

I'm certain that the Soarer has different spring rates than the Supra (different market niche) and that's why they chop out - but they are not willing to put in the work to match/make shocks that suit the springs. Not enough 20-series around to justify - so they will just keep putting in new Supra ones.

Get your's checked - I'd be interested in the result.
Mine just end up showing the leaking problem.

my understanding of the law is 3 strikes with faulty material and youve got a full instant refund
worth checking up with and if they are pricks about it try the padstow store as they do have some decent staff according 2 a mate who used 2 work there
just shonky business ethics they have to uphold if they wish to keep their job
yet of course this is all heresay Confused
