Rubber wears out....thus with mine ('98), I replaced all the parts mentioned earlier. Some of the parts can be visually inspected and left in, but I did all of mine. When I asked to see the strut mounts (the piece at the very top with metal gears in it) that came out of my car, they looked pretty frazzled- like something I did not want to reuse. Other than this, so many people are having prematurely failing spring seats...I'm reading about it all the time on this and other forums, so personally I didn't want to take any chances. shox.com has good prices....call them if the parts aren't on their site...they still have them.
