Possible to replace Strut cartridge on stock struts???
 

I was wondering if it is possible to replace the cartridges on stock struts? I see them in the local parts store and was just wondering if that was possible, I can get the needed tools, just wanted to see if it could be done to the stock struts? Thanks Mike

Yes. 86NA & below have replaceable inserts. Your options from cheapest to most expensive is:
Boge
KYB
Bilstein
Koni

Pelican has all of these.

So I can get them from here or a local parts store, and install with no problms? I did not know if you could. Thanks for the info. Going to get a set of inserts, I just put another used set on, and they are shot. Thanks for the info, that is my next projext. Mike

Hermes,

Look here on Pelican as they have some: http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/ksearch/pel_search.cgi?please_wait=N&forumid=&threadid=&co mmand=DWsearch&description=strut&I1.x=0&I1.y=0&FIL TER_944M=ON&FILTER_TECH=ON&FILTER_SUPP=ON&FILTER_A CCE=ON&FILTER_CARE=ON&FILTER_STUF=ON&FILTER_PERF=O N&FILTER_MISC=ON&FILTER_GADG=ON&FILTER_TOOL=ON

Paragon seems to specialize in Koni strut replacements as well...

THese are the Stock McPhearson struts, Correct? I don't think they are the Konis. Can they be replaced as well? Just wnat to make sure before I spend the cash. Mike

What you replace them with depends on your budget and what kind of ride you want. Prices range from $90 each to $190 each.
