Do they look like the oil has ran out of them? If they have lost their oil charge, it is possible for them to seize up.

Once the shocks are frozen internally, the strut cartriges need to be replaced.

I have a set of fresh Fox front struts collecting dust.

If they are the stock units, they're throw aways. If you have Fox aftermarket units, they're rebuildable.
