Front strut problem
One of my cabs front struts seems to build up pressure to the point where it becomes solid-is this fixable or is it a replacement job? In all my time
when a shock stuffs up it loses its damping ability not the other way 'round!

I am guessing it is more scoring/bent/sticking??
What ever - just change them over.
New strut inserts are relatively cheap - get some Boges or Sachs

It's only been like it the past couple of days and it never gets abused (I've got the buggy for that!) but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Yes. If I leave it overnight I can push it down and it works perfectly but after a few up and downs it's like it builds up pressure and then becomes
solid and wont move on the spring.

one of the "valves" inside must be acting as a "one way" valve and slowly leaking when left
Like a normal shockie there are valves inside that let the oil move around. It is these valves that give the shock/strut its characteristics
Replacement will be easiest

tightened down the strut bolt and it helped a bit, but the noise came back. i think it is strut related, but not sure of the exact cause. im planning
on getting new shocks and struts this summer hoping that it will solve the problem (and give me better handling).or maybe have you check the shock and strut mount if there were any
broken part
