The front struts on my Sportsman must have a little water in them. For the last few years, in the winter, they freeze in the down position and the front tires rub the fenders. I made some stops to wrap around the shafts so they can't go all the way down, and that keeps the tires from rubbing. But, it sure rides rough when the struts are froze and won't move!
I might someday buy new ones (at over $100 each!), but first I think I will try drilling holes in the bottom of the strut cartridges. That way any water will drain out, hopefully. I don't really care if the struts do anything or not, because I'm sure the oil has already been gone for a long time now.
