How do i tell if struts are blown by looking at them?
I FFFF my suspension up. lmao. And im talkin to some guy selling kyb agx struts, tien s tech lowering springs, and tien camber plates.i know how to tell if the strut is blown if its the strut by its self. But he has them together. Pretty much a coilover. So how can i know? i asked a friend but he said its hard to tell with the spring pushing on the struts.... anyone know any tricks b4 i make a mistake in buying them? price is right, I can use these for some time if their not blown. So please let me know any hints. I googled but no help. lol.

Re: How do i tell if struts are blown by looking at them?
Its pretty much impossible (AFAIK) to tell if the strut is blown while it has the spring on it. I typically go by "if the dust boot is damaged/gone, its either blown, or it will be soon".
