Buying a used strut: what to check

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