Buying a used strut: what to check
- Buy struts in pairs. Mixing wear levels ruins handling and tire wear.
- Check for oil streaks on the strut body, the sign of a blown seal.
- Confirm sport vs base suspension. Spring rates and heights differ.
- Factor in new mounts and bearings; reusing old ones wastes the labor.
