ARB doesn't think there is anything wrong with the shocks. I told them about the bouncing on one side and the rep said that's not a good test for OME shocks because they are multivalve shocks that are designed to be soft at low speed. They said as long as no oil has leaked from them they should be OK. I'm not convinced because the handling issues I was noticing before have gone away with the KYB's on. They're going to evaluate the shocks anyway.

Either way, I'm sticking with the KYB's. Sparkem, PM me your address and I'll have the OME's shipped to you afterward--either the originals that they say are OK or the replacements if they're not.
