Ive got a couple sets of used front strut inserts that I've been planning to use eventually, one set of Koni's and a set of orange Boge Turbos. I know the rods on these were not sunk to the bottom of the tubes when I stored them several month back (stored standing up). But when I looked today, the rods were in their lowest points on both sets. They have strong resistance upon rebound (by hand) and a little less when pushing them back down but still seems like a good amount. I pulled/pushed them up and down a few times, but they always worked themselves back down eventually when left alone for a while.
my guess is that they shouldn't be collapsed, but then I was thinking that maybe them working through their motions might reinvigorate them (some voodoo magic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ). Do they need a rebuild or trip to the dump? . |
