Had some time to work on the car last week and got the front struts off and apart. I'll be replacing the hubs as one was damaged, and the wheel bearings as well as one in particular had quite a bit of movement in it.
One of the shocks seems ok, but I think the other may have had it - it is extremely stiff (it can only just be moved by hand), it also gurgles/grinds a bit and is leaking slightly.
Any recommendations/ brands to avoid for the shocks? Thought maybe Sachs/Boge as the originals are Boge. Or TRW, Bilstein, KYB... Suspension is staying original spec and I'm more interested in the car riding as original.
Cheers
