Well i can get this set for cheap, and need to know who can rebuild these. i dont think d-drug is around anymore (seems like TF used to sell them) in the states. basically what happened was the previous owner ran over one of the struts on accident. it looks like the piston rod (correct term?) was bent near the top, at the mounting plate. is a piston rod even possible to repair? maybe a suspension specialty shop (any ideas)

he said they are straight at the mount, which im unsure of. (they have KTS mounts on 2 of them, but original mounts come with it also)

illinois' winters have the same effect as sitting on the bottom of the ocean.
