I just received and installed my Arnott struts today, and they look and work great. No rust or appearance issues, and they fit perfectly. The install itself is not too difficult for a DIY project. All you need are some basic hand tools, a floor jack, and jack stands. Took about 4 hours total to do both sides. An extra set of hands helps to line up the strut bolts. My X now rides and turns like new again. Boy, what a difference! Now I just have to figure out how to clear the SLS inactive warning from the computer.
