Found some guy selling these. His car died. Got them for $20
he bought them and then decided to junk car due to rusty frame and kept the struts.

 

Car died?

 

Ang your question is.....?²

 

What a score! If they fit, you did good, if not, maybe YOU can resell them depending on what they fit.

 

Was wondering how many folks here replace their struts.
he started replacing stuff and found out he had serious rust.
makes you want to look under car sometimes.

 

Often, when I have my car raised in the air or even on a jack stand, I look under it.

It's a good habit to have. Keeps you from buying struts for a rust bucket.

Helps detect leaks.

Often useful when changing the oil.

But that's just me

 

I replace struts and shocks when needed. Beware of some aftermarket products that fit many models. We have found that a shock that fits an F250 and fits an F550 doesn’t work on the F550. I have often found you get what you pay for. Batteries and tires especially.

 

I put struts on cuz they were super cheap and ok brand. New links too. And rattle noise is unchanged. Bar bushings look good. I got a 98k mile model last fall and it had ZERO squeaks. But I sold it. Made some money. Which was my plan
i buy/sell a lot and loose track of what I have done to each rig.
did I fix that? Hmmm.

 

You can't recognize your own work?
Do you provide perspective buyers with the service history (under your ownership)?

 

I don’t replace struts on every car. Or ball joints. Or tie rods. Or control arms. Or sway bar links. Or bushings. I might do this or that on car #7. But not #13.
I get a new car to fix headgaskets. and have rattle. Rattle noise is down on my list of things to do. And have to determine what part might be making noise. I have noticed when I point out something new to a buyer 90% of them just shrug. They want a car that moves.
