They are suppose to have a lifetime warranty for the original owner. Also the warranty is voided if your car is dropped more than 1.5 inches. Maybe you can somehow get them to replace it for free. I would give KYB a call and see what they can do.

My KYB's have been noisy lately, and have been annoying me. I dont know if its maybe the fact that i have had my windows down and can actually hear them now, or that they are blown. It sounds like they are groaning/ squeaking when i hit a decent size bump. Anyone know anything about this? I havent noticed any loss in ride quality though.

that's why i didn't get KYB, they're not supposed to be dropped lower than 1.5, and i was dropped about 2.75. get it replaced, or better yet, get some Koni Yellows.

The neuspeend sports are like a 2" + drop. That makes the warranty for the KYB's voided.
