I am curious, have you replaced your blower motor yet? If not then the front end will seem like a breeze. You will want to replace your struts again and again..Not to worry, at your young age it will not be a problem. As for the rest of us, well I think most are retired many years ago. At 49 you have a ways to go before all that sorness really takes effect. Wait about 10 or so more years and then try it again. This year I have replaced a manual transmission, front struts, complete front and rear bushings, refurbished the head, changed my seats to the 850 seats(wow what a job) and am in the middle of the driveshaft upgrading..But what the heck, I figure in a couple of more years when I turn 65 I will slow down... or not. I found out if you hate these Bricks enough you will do anything to keep them from getting you stranded on the road.."They will pry the wrench from my cold dead hands". Hehehe, have fun doing the repairs, it is a stress reliever..Max:>)
