Leaky Bilstein rear shock

[Rooster]

Hi all

One of my NW Pajero rear Bilstein shocks is leaking and I am wondering if it is feasible (cost effective) to have it reworked or is it better to simply replace? I ask as I believed these were rebuildable. If so does anyone know if there is anyone in SA that does this?

Доброго дня . Чисто теоретически амортизаторы можно разобрать и починить , Но где брать на них запчасти , не понятно .
Опять же с давлением газа как быть ?

Can't say myself, but perhaps ask for a quote: https://www.bilstein.com.au/services

I have had 3 Bilstein front strut failures and all were non repairable because the shaft was damaged and the cost of parts and labour exceeded the cost of a new item.

Just changed the original Mits 2009 shocks with a mileage of 169,000 km for new KYB Skorched 4s. Very happy so far.
I admit the front shocks could have been leaking for a while?

Good day . Purely theoretically, shock absorbers can be disassembled and repaired, but where to get spare parts for them is not clear. Again with gas pressure what to do??

And is it cost effective to do so?
