Yes, Bilsteins are rebuildable.  Bilstein USA (one of them) is about =
three miles from me and when I went there to inquire about having the =
Bilsteins on my other car rebuilt, the price was $55. Each.  Providing =
the damper rods are reuseable.  Add $10 if they are not.
You can nearly buy new ones for that price.
(At least new replacements for that application are only $75 each.)
