How can you tell if struts are blown out? I don;t mean when they're on the car.. I mean when they're off.
Drive it like you stole it, and work on it like you married it.

No oil... I can push them in with one hand on one end, and the other hand on the other end. Not effortlessly but not hard, either. ???
