well I got some new shocks coming, and I was hoping to sell my low mileage FX3 (~35k) shocks...

however when installing my lower sway bar poly bushings ( what a bitch) I notice one of them was ripped.

is this repairable economically or should I just toss the shocks in the garbage?

Don't throw them away. You would be surprised how quickly you can sell them on ebay or CF.
