The strange thing about gas struts is you cannot rely on external inspection for leaks to determine if the units have failed. They can leak internally or by-pass which affects the performance. The usual signs of failure are still cupping and or uneven tread wear. I replaced them on my '02 Aero Sportwagon at 80k miles with the Koni FSD. Even if the struts are not compleatly worn out, these make a nice upgrade imho. Yours is a Cosmic Blue Sportwagon with ventilated seats if the memory is working today. Almost a twin to mine!
