Front Strut Replacements
Hey all,
Been awhile since I have posted here so most probably won't know me. Ah well! Anywho, just replaced the two front struts and it was VERY easy. I thought I had it coming but I was wrong. Took about an hour a side. (Worked slow and steady) Stock replacements were only about $100 a piece which was pretty surprising. All in all, saved myself about $400 in labor that was estimated. The "book" estimated 4.5 hours from what i was told. Next thing to do is change the stupid leaking valve cover gaskets, now that looks to be challenging. Laters peeps. Peace and chicken grease, Danny! |
4.5 hours? That one evil book. Just like the spark plugs. Nice work. BTW I have a 92 Corvette Yellow NOS equipped SVX. :)

HI,
Hope you can help! I think I need struts. [Bottomed out on dirt road rut.] Where do I get them [other than Subaru dealer] & what should they cost [ball park $ is fine]? |

Stupid q
On the subaruparts site, which strut(complete) is the one we need, the one for $182 or the one for $99?

I'm gonna say the cheaper one doesn't come with the strut mounting.
I really have no idea. That's just the first idea that popped in my head. -- I'm changing my answer. I think the cheaper one does not come with the coil. I'm just looking at the prices. $60 difference in price, and only two pieces near that amount. It's logical they would allow you to buy the complete set without the coil. |
Danny,
How about writing up a "how to" on strut replacements? |
