Forgot where I read it but Krawazy and I were talking and wondering if struts can be rebuilt or recharged? Especially the TRD/Bilstein ones. Anybody have a clue or information?

did your dampers go bad allready? If so, was it the front and the movement problem that caused it?

Nope. Mark had some spare struts that went bad from not being used over time. I picked an extra front passenger side one up to make visual comparisons with the current one I have. Strut noise problem thread will be updated very soon.

Bilstein rebuilding struts is key especially with the discontinuance of solara ones. Thanks for the link!
