I bought my car in 2000 and it had 50,000 miles on it. However, it was in great condition. The struts still feel good now with 72,000 miles which seems like a long time for the original stock struts. I had the tires rotated the other day and I looked at all for struts. There is no sign that any are leaking and they look like new under the rubber cover. The top 2" of the struts are white just like the picture of the Sax struts in the BAT catalog. Are these the stock struts?
