Yep, sounds pretty sketchy. If it is advertised as "re-manufactured" it must be in "as new" condition and meet all the same inspection requirements of a new unit, otherwise it is simply "re-built" or "repaired" and you get what you get.

Hey guys - are the Arnott struts recommended here? I recall Johnny HS indicated an issue with a vendor that was claiming to 'rebuild' struts but was actually only painting them. Maybe not Arnott.
Also, are Arnott available in USA? I'll be needing to replace my struts soon and would like to know a source for an Audi or VW part at the lower cost.
Appreciate any leads!

Arnott struts
Some years back I replaced the front struts with RMT units. They were cheaper, but what a mistake. The shock absorbers were essentially inoperable, and made terrible noises.
Others have written about Arnott struts with "rebuilt" dampers. I chose to replace the RMT struts with Arnott struts with new dampers, shock absorbers. They have worked well for the last 4 years. Arnott now offers struts with Bilstein(?) shocks. If I have to do this again, I might try them.
The job of changing the struts is not that bad. It helps to have a lift, but it is not necessary. Arnott has very good directions on their website.
Hope this helps.
