Mount & Strut Replacement 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Kyle Dorr on  Fri Oct 8 09:04 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I noticed a few posts over the last couple of weeks about struts for the 850. I have an 855R with 150K on it now and it is starting to really annoy me with the constant clunking sounds coming from all over the place. I am interested in replacing the mounts and struts in the front and the mounts in the back in order to cure some of the noises.

I looked on FCPGroton.com and there are quite a few parts listed. I was expecting to need to get these:

2 front struts (probably go with the Bilstein TCs)
2 front strut mount assemblies
12 strut mount lock nuts
8 bolts
8 lock nuts
2 strut spring seats
2 rear shock mounts (for cars with Nivomats)

Am I missing anything? I'm probably going to replace the right side a-arm now too. Had the left side replaced about 30K ago. Are there any other mounts, etc... that can be replaced rather easily while I'm fixing all of this crap?

BTW, I am NOT planning to replace the Nivomats unless it's something that is highly recommended. $500 is way too much right now. Does anyone disagree with that logic?

TIA

-Kyle
