So as stated in my earlier struggling forum, I figure that Belle Tire lied to me after a 15 minute inspection. I'll take it to another Belle Tire this weekend.
We mentioned struts and how it's hard to DIY if it's not a quick strut, which is why I finally learned the shop I had it done at uses a quickstrut, as long as I have the receipt and send it to monroe and tell them my part number, they'll send it to me, given I send them the old struts, so I dont' have to do it at a shop, in this case, if it's a quick strut, you don't have to worrya bout a spring compressor and it will be much easier to install right? And it's for the rear, and while I"m there, I'll replace the rear stab links and bushings with moog ones. And I'm hearing a funny noise, can't tell if it's a wheel bearing or not, but maybe I'l replace the control arm bushings, I bought 2 from advance auto for only 25 after a speedperks coupon, and a shop can press them in at 25 each . is taht a good deal, and even if my control arm bushing isn't bad, at nearly 170k, that's not a bad idea to do, right since the oem ones may be worn after 13 years? Will the moogs last long, or is it not a good idea to use them sand keep the old oem ones in, since the moogs may go bad really quickly? what do you suggest about that? Thanks.
And how are craftsman ratchets? Only 11.99 for that with a small set of sockets at ace hardware now till the end of march, shoudl I get it or no? Thanks.
