Wipe them down good with tranny fluid or turpentine and give them a try. If they leak bad then take them in but if they do ok run them. I've seen cylinders that look bad work good and I've seen cylinders that looked good that work bad.

You could try to polish them with steel wool or very fine emery cloth. Hopefully it's only light surface rust. If you use emery cloth buy a roll and cut a piece about 2 feet long so you can do one complete wrap around the cylinder 360 degrees.This will give even pressure all around the rod, then you can pull it back and forth and up and down to polish the rod. You want it to have a very very light cross hatch pattern like a honed cylinder from an engine. If the cylinder isn't completely smooth it will eventually cause the seals to leak but polish only as much as needed. Make sure to clean it when finished. Motorcycle forks are cleaned up this way. If the rust has pitted the rod deeper and you take it in, it may have to be re hard chromed which is more expensive than regular chroming. A new shaft would cost a bit as well. Try to clean it up first. Hope this helps. Good luck Dave
