Replacing the insert in a strut is common for some other cars and some older Porsche's. Nothing at all wrong there. Results and life depends entirely upon the quality of the insert. Vertex sells pretty good parts, so this would probably work quite well for a daily street driven car.
How difficult is it to replace the insert? Is it doable without a lift?
My 03 is turning 125K miles, so I am due for a struts job...
Thanks!
