Suspension Question

If I'm going to redo my shocks/struts, what hardware should I replace. Ex. Strut mount, bearing... etc.

What I'm replacing

This is what I'm replacing along with all 4 struts:
- OEM LCA's (includes 2 bushings and ball joint)
- OEM End links (all hardware too)
- OEM Sway bar bushings (inner and outer) and nut for outer part
- Front Lower strut mount nut and bolts
- Rear Lower strut mount nut and bolts.

I'd post part numbers but I'm waiting for my order to arrive.

^^^^ Replacing the struts too? lol Why the nuts / bolts, no need. Also, if you're going to replace the 'lower strut mount', that's the whole hub asmbly just so yea know.



Pat, I agree, but I think he may be asking 'what all is required or recomended'?

Is that what you're asking?

I like Moog - the mid / better end products are better than the 'lower end Moog' stuff. They are good for bushings / end links. For struts, it's your call. I would just 'regrease' the mount since AZ want's like $35 per ....
