Need the replace my rear struts as they are damaged (bent) there
 I was thiking if i just replace the housing of the strut and kept the shock inside, would that be possible to minimise my spending. That is only if the shock inside isnt damaged. The housing is only bent sideways 10 degrees or so. My question is would my shock could be salavged? If so when i take them out in a couple of days, how can i tell? Thanks -------------------- |

It wouldnt really help since KYBs are pretty cheap to begin with just get new ones to ensure no problems.

I'd just replace the whole strut. It's simply the better solution than only change the housing!
