My  question is, what's inside the bumper struts on a modern GM car?
Bumpers  (facsha) on newer GM cars are held to the body by collapsible 
struts. Is it  oil filled? Springs?
A current project requires two of these to be  modified, and before I get out 
the torch and/or the saw, I need to know what's  inside.

I think it is oil - I have seen instructions to drill out the "shocks" at  
the junkyard, if found in a compressed condition, for the safety of the worker.
