Great info. My favorites SSR file on my computer is beginning to look like a shop/trouble shooting manual I have saved so many posts.

Hey, Chuck . . . sounds like good news to me!

Did they offer a reason for the worn seal other than age or mileage?

No answer on why it failed I have 38k on it . Just glad they found the problem .

Just heard from my service rep he said the seal dried up making the noise maybe it's the hot desert temps . Look out doophus you also live were it's hot .
