What is your question?
I had the shocks/struts replaced after about 190,000 miles/6 years on my Toyota Camry-no problems with tire wear or ride problems until then. I had the work done at a reputable repair shop with standard parts. After only 2 years, I'm facing the same repair again. Why don't the new assemblies last as long as the original?

the answer is that all parts are not created equal. what brand is a "standard" part? today's repair customers are looking for price as a top priority, so most shops will oblige. if this were my car, i would question the shop that did the work originally.
