WTB rear suspension parts

I think I broke a spring and my rear struts have been leaking for a while, my rear end is nearly on the ground and if I hit any big potholes (like I've got around here) the outside of my drivers side right tire rubs against the side of the wheel well. I think I need new springs and new struts for both sides on the back of the car and my mechanic says he can get parts for $400 a strut plus the springs.

High price for a $100 strut

Anyway, your rear mounts have collapsed due to corrosion.... thats why it is sitting lower. You need a new set of rear mounts along with the new struts... Your springs are probobly fine.
