Contact Honda....They should be under warranty. Mine are leaking and they are covered under warranty...they are just on back order now. Also next time post in the suspension forum. I will move the post now.

Actually if your car is not drivable the dealership is required to give you a loaner until the problem can be fixed. At least that is law in Illinois.

however, blown struts don't make your car un-drivable, just uncomfortable and un-cool.

but wouldnt the dealership notice the trimmed bump stops? unless trimming your bump stops doesnt void the warrenty, man that would be sweet, i would just keep getting new struts for the next 7 years and to hell with paying a grand on aftermarket struts, but i think it does void it.
