I took off my front springs and struts and was all ready to install the teins I ordered and realized my front struts have leaked and when I hold them I can slide them in and out with no resistance, so all the fluid has leaked.

what is the easiest fix for this, can I replace seals inside them? or do I need whole new ones?

They were worn out 5 years ago!The leaking out of fluid is the final armageddon which occur YEARS after the NITROGEN GAS charge has gone away.

One needs to budget for shock/strut replacement every 4-5 years or 60k whichever occurs first.
