Default rebuilding a TEIN coilover

Anyone have any experience with this? Or know a shop and prices I need to know because I Coilover is leaking some type of oily substance and I have a clunk from that side I think my coilover has something to do with it

I suggest you contact the company you bought them from to see if that is under some type of warranty. Second thing would be to contact the manufacturer.Good Luck!

Hi,
Contact Tein, i think all of their coilovers are re-buildable, I am not sure of the cost, but it should be cheaper than buying a new one.

Good luck on the fix.

Tein rebuilds them for ~$75 each + shipping. I looked into this for my HAs on my Supra when I had issues with noise on one corner.
