New Shocks & Struts....help me shop Posted by Duhey2 [Email] (#151) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Duhey2) on Sun, 28 Oct 2007 08:21:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hey all,
I decided to go ahead and replace the struts and shocks in my '03 Linear sedan (79K miles). My neighbor owns a shop and he's cool with me getting my own parts. I've decided to go with Sachs (OEM) as I liked the ride before and with Houston streets as bad as they are, I'm not interested in firming it up.
So, what should I be getting?
strut x 2
upper strut mount x 2
strut bearing x 2
shock x 2
A couple other questions:
Is it worth doing the bushings as well? My neighbor said everything was tight and that they rarely replace control arm bushings. I don't want to drop $1,500 on the car but I also want to take advantage of the time while they have it all apart.
eEuroparts lists struts and shocks while other websites ask you to specify which parts using the codes listed under the hood (left fender). Does anyone have experience with this?
TIA
Hasta,
D/2
