98 max needs new struts
I don't know anything about suspension, but I've had some suspension noise problems while turning...replaced all the bushings about a month ago..and the noise went away.
Now, within the last two days, I've gotten out of the car and have felt lower to the ground...really strange. I bounce the car around and it makes a noise from the front driver side.
I am now planning on replacing the front struts...(they're really old)....and will go ahead and replace the rears as well.
So my questions:
Do I need to replace the springs as well? (I don't want it lowered or anything)
and, I'd rather just buy stock struts, but I don't mind forking over a little extra cash for something that will last a little longer? any opinions? I have a three day weekend after a busy work week coming up...plan on doing it all then.
thanks!

leave the springs alone. Where are you going to get stock struts though? Dealer? I don't think so. Thinking about the Monroe stuff they sell at auto parts stores? I don't think so. Some cheap tokico or something from ebay is ur only choice...
