UGH im getting tired of these things on my Cherokee. 2 annuals ago I rebuilt them yet they leaked from the top like the washer was bad. Mechanic put an extra oomf on it and still leaked at the top. This annual I got new valve cores and new aluminum crush washers. And guess what..still leaking hydro out the top. My service manual shows the crush washer under the filler port. I found a print out that my mechanic gave me 2 annuals ago that show no washer but an O-ring and that was dated 2008. Will have to look to see what revision manual I have. But my strut rebuild kit came with the aluminum washer.
Anyways...crush washer or o-ring? Or both? I feel an o-ring will seal it in much better and if I remember the opening is actually beveled like an o-ring wants to be there.
