    Rear strut seal replacement - can it be done ?

    Can someone please tell me if the rear strut seals can be replaced on EDClll ?

    Or can the rear be replaced with non EDC and leave the front as EDC ?1vxn.png

    Nagengast in Poland is specialized on repairs of SLS and EDC shocks, see page 5 for E34 EDC shocks, EURO 439/pc https://nagengast.pl/en/kategoria-pr...bmw-en/page/5/
    Is the strut leaking at the top? Or at the bottom? Top seal leak the usual cause are defective pressure accumulators (bombs) - in case your car has SLS/LAD -caused hard shocks to the top of the strut and damaging the top seals. There are some members here on the forum which have researched strut seals for SLS/EDC and might be able to give you more details

    Thanks Shogun,
    Its the top seal i presume...as the fluid is leaking from the top around the strut piston.
