Dan, Traditionally this is the slowest time of year for shipping. Package volume falls by 30-40 % over peak volume. This past peak was above average, but I've seen times when volume was overwhelming. This past year was not. Current volume is down perhaps 20-25% from the same time last year.

Don’t sweat the SLS (rear suspension.) It’s typically quite robust and rarely requires service. Struts can be pricey if they’re leaking, but again, that’s uncommon. More often than not, the only thing the system needs is the replacement of the accumulators (spheres) which are not expensive and
