Okay, now its a lil clearer... I'm sure I'll see even more clearly as I do the job. I'm almost sure I'll get my hands dirty now since my mechanic quoted me a price of $625 for parts and labor. That's crazy... I think...
Anyways, I have access to a lift and all that so I think I should be able to handle it. They also have acces to the spring compressors too. I just wasn't sure what was most recommended and/or easier.
Another thing...is it easy to tell if the mounts need to be replaced? I planned on changing the bushings anyways, but not sure bout the mounts. As for the "bellows".... not sure what that is? Do you mean the boot? I thought there was only the shock/strut itself, the bushing, the mount, and boot. Let me know if I'm on the same page with ya. Also, let me know what I should be looking for to tell if they're bad or not. Thanks again guys... This is really gonna help keep some money in my pocket and I really luv being able to say "I did it".
