Arnott Reman Front Air Struts or Arnott-engineered struts?
 
The reman struts are $410 and the Arnott-engineered are $566. Worth the difference?
OR, do I find the shock only anywhere? My air bags are fine, just the right shock feels busted when I go on bumpy roads.

Air struts are different from the rear shocks,

The remans come with a core don't they? And the new ones don't, right?

Good replacement shocks are Bilstein Tourings if the rears needing replacement

The front struts with the airbags are called usually front air struts which it is made of an air bag and a strut (shock absorber). I referred to the shock as the shock absorber part of the front strut. I see Arnott sells the airbag only and I assume I should be able to find the shock absorber part by itself but I couldn't. realoem doesn't show that by itself either.

The problem I have is only on the right side when I drive fast over bumpy road, or a not flashed manhole. It seems like the shock absorber is busted and lets the wheel jump up in these conditions. Since I don't really know if the airbags were ever replaced I would be better off replacing the full air strut(s).

You are right, the reman have a core charge $100 but I get that back so the final price is $150 cheaper pe strut. Is this the only difference or they made something better?

I think I will go with the reman struts. Should I replace the busted one only? Maybe a bad idea... thoughts?

Did you go with the remans? What are your thoughts?
