Mechanic Disagrees with Bilsteins as Replacement Struts?! 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Shelly on  Wed Dec 17 13:52 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have an 850 GLT wagon that I bought with about the same miles yours has on it and the first thing we did was replace the strutt mounts/bearings and replace the strutts and springs with the Bilstein/TME package and we have been very happy. The car is fun to drive in the curves but is still comfortable on the highway, we did the susp. 3 years and 92k miles ago and as far as I can tell they are still doing their job. You also probably may need the sway bar end links replaced as well, they will make the front end feel like it is falling apart when they go bad. Good luck.
