I wanted to change my front shocks last month. The mechanic said I could repair it if I don't have money for a tokunbo. Though I later bought a tokunbo. Has anyone done this before? I mean the repair. How long did the repaired shocks last if yes?

I was tempted to do it too considering cost.

Yes I did, Mazda. It worked like magic.

The valve inside was found to have broken into pieces nd changed. I used it for 3 months before I sold the car but the fix was totally worth it.

A lot of so called toks had the same repairs.

Exactly what the mechanic told me, he said most of the tokunbo shocks were repaired
