damper
 

I have an 02 civic with 30K miles. Brought it to dealer for an oil change
and they replaced a leaking "damper" which they said is the same as a shock.
Is it unusual for a "damper" to leak at the mileage?

Does it really matter, as it was replaced under warranty?

How old would you be, if you didn't know how old you are?

Re: damper
 

yes, the warrantee will expire soon. If the replacement is of equal
quality, that leaves him hanging at 60k.

Re: damper
 

yes for a quality part

no for a mediocre part.

Does your VIN start with 1HG?
