Please help! XREAS line pinched and leaking

[burnthestatusquo]

Hi everyone..can I please have your input about what to do. My 4R was in a minor accident where the left running board got bent under the body and pinched the XREAS line right before it connects with the right center control absorber. It's been steadily dripping oil. I brought it in for an autobody estimate--they said they'll be sending the work out to another reputable shop, but does anyone know what needs to get done--can they recharge the system or do they have to rip out the entire system?


I have 44k on it.

The Central Absorber will need to be replace along with the associated Shock and possibly the other cross-linked shock.

400 F+R is pretty cheap. Might be less in the end then replacing you xreas

Just a guess, but if you're the least bit handy, swapping the xreas for bilsteins should be much less expensive than repairing the factory system.

$330 for front and rear Bilsteins from wheelersoffroad.com...right? And then you'll never have to worry about XREAS again. That's what I'm doing.
