I did both. Got the 107" running, and just put an offer on a new place. A place WITH a garage, so no more dining room mechanics.

Well she did drive it once and it came home with a big scrape in the right front tire and wheel. She hit a curb because she could not see over the hood. That was the first and last time. Now she drives a 2013 Dodge Durango and that scares the crap out of me. She needs a little smart car that is just her size.

P.S. Don't tell her I said that. LOL

I got the rebuild kit which is new copper crush washer and bolt on bottom that holds the damper tube. The slider bushing, slider bushing washer and oil seal. Then the o rings on the caps. It also comes with the plastic clips for on the damper tube. I know none of the terms I used are correct part names... But I would say while its opened, buy the rebuild kit and replace everything you can. As you take it apart, just pay attention to the orientation and order of everything... Not much to it...
