Sensatrac are gas charged. I can understand the attraction to the inexpensive UCA's, though. Even with the clearance price on the Moog's from RockAuto it still cost me around $220 for parts. With regular prices you are looking at something like $300 for UCA's, new bushings, and replacement mounting parts. Compared to the $90 I spent on eBay it's a big difference. As my best friend always says, "You don't always get what you pay for, but you never get what you don't pay for."
The chariot is much quieter now. On cold days I was still hearing some rattling from the front left. I sprayed some more silicone lubricant down around the top of the strut mount after removing the plastic cap. That helped last year and did the trick this time as well. It's extremely quiet now. I am still pretty sure that replacing the struts in in the near future for me. The top mount is not really being pressed tightly into the top of the strut tower. That probably indicates that the struts have lost some of their gas pressure. Now, the question is going to be do I get a set of Sensacraps for free from the lifetime warranty, or spring for a set of Bilsteins.
Bilsteins! Mike you won't be sorry.
Hell, theres a set on ebay for like $250. I paid over $400 for the HDs and I really think I should have grabbed the TCs.
