u/ClearlyE

I bought KYB struts assemblies for my Prius last year, less than a year ago actually and the struts are defective. My mechanic said its the assembly binding up, I'm assuming at the bearing/mount. I can only get a replacement under warranty now nut I'm wondering if this is even worth it or if I should get them elsewhere out of my own pocket so I don't risk having to pay labor on another set of defective struts.
