Assuming you have a 2014 model since you're posting in the Rushmore section, shouldn't be bad already as they have the newer style SE comp as stock.

Yup. But will he believe you if he's on here worrying about it?

Okay, let's try this again. I'll phrase the question differently. What are the symptoms of a compensator going bad ?
