What band and servo is in it? Have you dropped the VB to see if the strut is bent?

Just judging by the pics online, Suncoast uses a Raybestos flex band in their rebuild kits. Its a good band, but could be broken in a spot. I switched to a Borg Warner solid band in mine, seems to hold up a little better.
