Dealer vs. Fox Shox

Dealer - 1
Fox Shox - 0

So I took my FJ in to have the CV replaced (they were going to see about warranty-ing it - and I ended up just letting them change it since they already had it torn apart)...and when I picked it up and started home in it - it was driving ridiculously crazy...

So I went back to the dealership and asked them to check the alignment on it - and told them it was driving like crap....

So the tech comes in there and asks me what PSI the shocks should have in them? And at this point I am like....oh no...don't tell me what I think I'm getting ready to hear...

Long story short - they let the Nitrogen out of the shocks to make it easier to compress the shock to get the axle in place....and they just refilled it to around 150psi w/ an air compressor...

They also put a pressure gauge on the other side's shock to try and get an idea of how much pressure was in the shock originally....so it's hard to imagine how much was let out of it when they checked it....

So now I'm back in a Corolla waiting on Monday until I can find someone who can put 200 psi of nitrogen back in my shock....
