View All Service LocationsFrequently Asked Questions
Should I replace struts in pairs?
Yes. At Owl-Let, we always recommend replacing both the left and right struts simultaneously. Since they are the same age and have been through the same number of cycles, if one has failed, the other is likely close behind. Replacing only one also puts uneven stress on the new strut and the vehicle's hinges.
Can I "regas" an old strut?
While some services offer regassing, Owl-Let does not recommend it. Once the seals have failed enough to let gas out, they are compromised. A brand-new replacement is the only way to ensure 100% safety and long-term reliability.
Why do my struts fail more often in winter?
Gas pressure naturally drops in cold temperatures. If your struts are already slightly weak, the cold weather can reduce the internal pressure just enough that they can no longer support the weight of the hood or hatch.
How long does the replacement take?
Most strut replacements are a simple "plug-and-play" procedure that an Owl-Let technician can complete in 15 to 20 minutes for the pair.
