Re-gassed Struts
Does anyone have any experience or ever had there struts regassed. A friend of mine needs rear struts for his sons 95 Impreza Awd 2.2 coupe, and a guy Im buying new struts for my outback said he had a friend regas them, and wants $60 a piece with springs included for them. Ive never heard of this being done, and I personally wouldnt buy them.

Re: Re-gassed Struts
Does he also replace the seals? If so, and it's something he has experience with, I'd give it a shot. SVX struts aren't anything special compared to any other strut.

What Dave said, basically that's what a koni rebuild is, It is just we live in a world where parts replacing is the norm not parts rebuilding.

Re: Re-gassed Struts
Like Dave said, struts are struts, maybe this will help?

There are no springs included IN the strut housing, just a combination of both engine and tranny oil inside. Check my posts HERE
