With the exception of custom rebuildable aftermarket shocks and struts such as certain Konis, these OE components are not serviceable. In other words once worn or failed they can only be replaced. Guidelines to determine replacement include factory mileage guidelines, inspection for excessive bounce, noise, case integrity, and the presence of oil leaks.
