Struts Frozen.......(wat da)?
Hey Buds,
Well, i figured out why my Right front end is BANGING on every bump i go over...the right front strut is Frozen. (I don't supposed that fixable, so, i gotta fork over money for new struts).
My Mechanic says he will install them for $30@, BUT he wants them to have the Springs too. IN other words, he wants doesn't want to get involved with taking the suspension assembly apart. (i take it that this is the cheapest way to go).
Thanks!

- Anyone have a recommendation on Struts/Shocks and where to buy them?
Thanks!

He wants to charge you $300 to do one right front?
Are you nuts?
Struts: KYB GR2 (RockAuto)
Springs: Reuse the old ones
Consider replacing upper mount
Or
Get a quick strut setup from local store or rockauto or some other parts store

You can borrow (with a deposit) the spring compression tools from most major auto parts stores to DIY.
As far as struts go, how much do you want to spend and what type of ride and handling do you want?

how the hell do you freeze a strut? ive never in my life heard of a strut freezing. mount can go bad, spring can break, or the strut piston leaks oil, but ive never heard of freezing

Maybe it's been leaking for so long there's minimal oil and a lot of water due to condensation that then froze due to temperature?
