Bung: Just in case it's possible to fit the struts either way up were the 2nd pair fitted the same as the 1st?

Turns out they only replaced one last time, somonly had to fit one, it was only about $200 ish. Which explains why its $345 for the pair now

Dude.

Save cash, get it re gassed.
I’m pretty sure I paid about 50 or 60 bucks a strut for a re gas on my mums Suzuki splash.

I took it to them, then I fitted back myself
Those clips are hard as to get off so be careful!

I paid $60nzd for a pair of gas struts delivererd to my door from amazon for the Mondeo.

Took less than a week from ordering to the box being dropped at my door. Two minute job. Done.

As an update, the struts ordered from AliExpress arrived yesterday, install took all of a minute and they work a treat. Thanks all
