Soo i bought my car at 63000 miles now im at atbout 118k never changed these. I was thinkin bout buying the parts and then finding a mechanic to do the work... Can anyont point in the right direction as to what exactly i need? Websites and how much from experience has this type of work costed?


Its a 07se also do i have to both front and rear ??

Or should i not even bother at 118k and ride till the wheels fall off?? Lol

 

No advice about what to get, but I'm with you on the concept of if it aint broke. Certain things are worth the money, trans fluid replacement, spark plugs, brakes, tires, these are things you gotta do regularly...however if the struts are fine, and you're not looking to lower or race the thing, then save your money.

 

replace those, they are overdue.
looks to me like you didnt read the 200 threads about shocks right?

kyb gr2 are fine, and stiffer than OEM.
monroe sensatracs are fine, thats what I run now. like oem.

 

KYB is crap. Get Monroe sensatrac. Nice ride and good quality.

 

sensatracs are nice.

 

so i ordered the 2 front struts and the 2 rear shocks and the strut mounting kit....

i went with monroe sensa tracs

is there anything i should order as a precautionary measure to ensure the repair goes smoothly

 

While is apart change the rubber bushings for the rear shock too.
If you got extra $$ replace the rear sway bar with a progressive bar/bushings.
That's what I did,and replaced the springs. Handles much better on turns.
