The stock struts are also COIL springs OVER mcpherson Struts and in all Subaru instances I am aware of, cannot be rebuilt!!! They must be replaced or have the tops cut off and have lower capacity small main shaft inserts installed for much more than $100!!!

All dampers fail over time!!! Inverted mono shocks need to be lubed and/or rebushed occasionally at a much lower cost than rebuild.

$400 to rebuild a set of Teins every 3 years is a hell of a lot cheaper than buying new $1200 struts every three years.
