Uh Oh, I moved the sleeve that holds the bearing races, probably not a good idea, but got it .003, still doesn't work. Read the rebuild article, a little to much I think for me. Start back to work Monday and I don't think I have the skill or time to take on such a endeavor. Are there any reputable places I can send strut housing to for a rebuild. Not sure I trust the local shop.

 

Ain't no biggie. If you knocked out a bearing race you can install a new one,but you need a set of bearing/race tools to do the job right. But they're cheap..Powerbuilt Bearing Race and Seal Installer Kit | eBay Don't know if anyone rebuilds them,plus at over 325 bucks for a new strut assy,if you follow the instructions carefully you can rebuild it. Several people on the forum have replaced coil sleeves and coils.

 

I'll have to think it over. Thanks for all the help.

 

Be careful on used parts,but if you go that way a lot of 1999-2001 models use the same strut.

Cool, thanks. I figure I'll get a used one, some are pretty cheap. rebuild if necessary, then swap out. Right now I'm taking lawnmower deck off to rebuild. To many projects, not enough time.
