I assume the struts are factory-rebuildable. The Monroe struts I put on mine appeared to be rebuilt units.

Don't forget to replace the strut mount up top, too.

The old strut bellows may not fit your new struts. Probably a good thing to have, keep the dust and crud out of the piston area. I had to modify my strut bellow and bumpstop set: the bumpstop didn't fit correctly so I reamed out the center to fit over the strut piston.
