Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I changed the tire under a steady drizzle and 20 minutes later, we drive back home to take my Audi S4 instead.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So, I take yesterday off to drop the car at AWE-Tuning to have the PSS9's installed. The morning started off very wrong when my wife, who was following me in her ML320, hits this very big rock and blows out the right front tire. The sidewall had a rip I could put my hand through. My wife was mildly shaken but she and our kids were okay. I changed the tire under a steady drizzle and 20 minutes later, we drive back home to take my Audi S4 instead. We get to AWE, drop the car off, and head off of to enjoy the day with the kids. Around noon, I receive a call from Mike@AWE. Hmmm, they cannot be finished already, it must be a problem. Sure enough, Mike tells me they completed the Tech Inspection but when the they opened the PSS9 box, they found 4 shocks - all for the front! Great. I try not to let the news ruin the rest of the day. We pick up the 996 later and head home. I call Performance Products to sort this out. They ask for the serial numbers to pass on to Bilstein. I am still waiting to hear back. Lessons learned: 1) For my wife: Big rocks win most of the time. It is best to avoid them. 2) PSS9's allow for a maximum of -1.75� camber up front. 3) Inspect product deliveries before scheduling installation.

POST 2Original post

I'm not sure of Performance Products reputation. I ordered a PIAA projector beam light from them and they sent me a used unit! I've since avoided them all together. Hope they straighten out their mistake for you without too much of a wait.

POST 3Original post

Its easy to tell front from rear shocks. The front have a tab in the middle to bolt up the sway bar and hub. The rear has a cup at the bottom to bolt up the rear sway bar. Explain that to them. I have used them for years and they always gave me good service, but then again I'm local to them.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So far, lip-service from Perf Prod has been good. They are sending me a UPS label to ship what I have back to them. On the other hand, they "don't know" when they can ship me the correct PSS9's.
