Great people at Wheaton's but GM is slipping on parts availability in my opinion.
Thank goodness this wasn't an emergency. I was surprised that this part was not stocked anywhere in Canada, and further, that in this day and age expected availability was 10 to 14 days to bring it in from the US! The original strut, with only 13,000kms on the vehicle, seems to have stopped leaking oil anyway. I suspect that the reason nobody in the GM system is stocking this part is it has no sales history. There should be need to replace some of these by now, so I suspect folks must be sourcing such parts from other, possibly less expensive suppliers.

Rick,
Thanks for your review! Parts shortages frustrate us too, believe me!
I've passed your review on to GM. Hope to see you at the dealership again soon.
