Need some help on struts and shocks - 6G Celicas Forums

Need the replace my rear struts as they are damaged (bent) there


I was thiking if i just replace the housing of the strut and kept the shock inside, would that be possible to minimise my spending. That is only if the shock inside isnt damaged. The housing is only bent sideways 10 degrees or so. My question is would my shock could be salavged? If so when i take them out in a couple of days, how can i tell?

Thanks

It wouldnt really help since KYBs are pretty cheap to begin with just get new ones to ensure no problems.

I'd just replace the whole strut. It's simply the better solution than only change the housing!


All people are born unique, but most die as copies because they go through life doing what everybody else is doing,for example building a show-off car that looks like one that already exists.
replace the full thing, they are cheap.
