Suspension work not been done on this before. Though it's been a couple years since I've helped a friend replace his struts, I'm confident that I'm capable of doing these myself. This stemmed from a recent visit to the local tire place to have alignment done. They said they couldn't align due to lower control arms and struts needing replaced - ~$2200. I laughed. Took it to my regular mechanic, who said other than the dust boots, the struts looked fine.
Fast forward 3 months later, and I'm actually experiencing some rough ride / suspension travel noise. At this point, I'm figuring replace whatever could possibly need placed.
List at this point:
MOOG K80595 Ball Joints
MOOG RK640360 control arm
MOOG RK640361 control arm
KYB SR4118 strut assembly
KYB SR4117 strut assembly
Through rock auto, this ends up being ~$410 with shipping.
Anything else I should consider? I want to do the rear struts as well - doesn't look like there is a strut assembly for those, so I'll have to fight with that. Anything else I would need for the rears?
thanks in advance
