Hi all!
Planning on replacing all front bushings, engine and tranny mounts, tie rods and ends, and struts. My question is (my apologies if this happens to be a redundant question): As far as struts, what else do I need to check/replace? (spacers, bearings, etc..) Thanks in advance.
Denny

you can "rent" the needed tools from AutoZone, or similar. You acutally buy them then take them back for a refund when done. That's their idea, not my idea of some ploy.

When I did my front end, I did the whole thing. That included ball joints and upper strut bearings. OEM Strut bearings are wery wery expensive so I got the cheapie $40 ones. Maybe I'll be sorry in 100K miles but that's 8 years down the road for me. Ball joints are generally cheap and easy to replace as long as you're going after the struts.
