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

What you replace them with depends on your budget and what kind of ride you want. Prices range from $90 each to $190 each.
Check Clarks-garage.com for the process.
