I hear ya Randy.....my front end had to have the original struts and I have 165k. real bouncy. I also saw lots of gook and oil substance on strut shafts and strut bellows were shreaded into rings.

Nice tight firm ride now......I still have to get the surfer aligned though since just tied up the end rods to exactly where they were and I'm getting some shimmy when making tight turns .
