Struts 'n stuff

Stefan · 06-27-2000, 09:38 AM

I think I saw those at Carparts.com (the non-adjustable ones). Carparts is running a special right now to get 1/3 off your order (max discount $100). That puts the set at around $240. Unless someone knows where they can be purchased cheaper I think this sounds like a good deal. Are there any bushings that need to be replaced along with everything else? When I originally dropped my car off at the garage I thought the power steering was going bad as it would squeek real bad when you cranked the wheel to the left. They told me then that the driver's side strut was starting to fail and not to worry about it just yet. It has since been on a trek from Kansas to Gatlinburg TN with no problems aside from the squeek. I figured (from my orignal post up top) that I would just replace both struts and both shocks all at once but I don't want to forget any of the details ( bushings and what not). Sorry for the length but you guys are helping me figure this stuff out so thank you.

Thanks again - more opinions are welcome.
