Thumbs up allroad suspension now on e-bay

I found this gem on e-bay. Looks like they're expanding to ebay too. Here's the link for my allroad brethren with troublesome suspension:

I think you even posted the install didn't you? I plan on doing it after the Christmas crunch. Using e-bay and paypal is always the way to go for me.

I replaced my front units with these about 3-4 weeks ago. If the pinch bolts give you any problems, just leave them on and drop the assembly down so that you can remove the upper control arms to get everything out. This is better than breaking the pinch bolt if it is siezed up.

The first side on mine took 4 1/2 hours, which about 2 1/2 or more was trying to get the pinch bolt loose with heat and other methods. I finally gave up and did it the way I mentioned above. The second side took 1 1/4 hours from tire off to tire on using that same method and not even messing with the pinch bolt.

Good to know. I'm about a 3 out of 5 on the wrenching schedule. I noticed my passenger's side going down infrequently while driving. Is this still an airbag problem or am I looking at changing the compressor as well. Also, If I'm changing one side is it like headlights where it's better to change both?

The compressor is most likely fine. You will hear it when it isn't fine anymore. It will get quite loud. Change them out before you overwork the compressor and have to do both. I would suggest doing both fronts as if one is going, the other one will follow soon.

Perfect. Hopefully Santa is really nice to me so I can buy 2 of them.

I actually purchased it on their site and saved about $20 with next day delivery. I have the PDF but I was wondering if anyone was in the SoCal area to help with the install. I don't mind doing the work, but it helps to have a second set of eyes and hands.

Please PM me as soon as possible. I'll pay for your gas and pizza.
