they tend to go out gradually so its not to hard to miss if you don't pay attention to your carHow do they not feel a difference? Bad struts are easy to notice in the feel of the ride.

Sounds like it might be time for a Chilton's manual, a tool set, and a "you're on your own for the next one" talkI think the hardest thing is getting the kids to learn to understand when their cars are not "right" so it can be addressed before it gets worse.

When I bought new tires last year, the shop put the wrong balancing weights on my rims, causing the tires to go flat overnight. Had to take it back the next day to get the right ones put on.they tend to go out gradually so its not to hard to miss if you don't pay attention to your car![]()
Well that sucks.Actually when I was driving the car I didn't notice the bad struts either. The suspension wasn't thunking and the car wasn't sitting low. The guys at the shop showed me where the struts were leaking fluid.
I was thinking more about the grinding noise coming from the brakes. Grinding means that they totally didn't notice the chirping noise coming from the low brake pad warning clip.

wrong balance on a tire is a VERY noticeable thing. A strut, not so much, until the shock absorber is so worn out you begin to bounceWhen I bought new tires last year, the shop put the wrong balancing weights on my rims, causing the tires to go flat overnight.

I drive so much that the least lil shimmy will make me stop and see what's up.
dollars to pennies you "noticed" after they were well worn, and your car was bouncy over bumps...by this time, they have been going out for quite a whileWell that sucks.

My struts on the expedition are shot, but it's been parked for almost two years now. I really need to sell it and get it outta my yard.wrong balance on a tire is a VERY noticeable thing. A strut, not so much, until the shock absorber is so worn out you begin to bounce![]()
That's because, by that point, you ARE riding on springsMy struts on the expedition are shot, but it's been parked for almost two years now. I really need to sell it and get it outta my yard.
You notice the struts more when you're on a bumpy road, like SR22 to Borrego Springs lol. When they get low in fluid, they sound like dry springs squeaking lol.
Or typhoid?oh, and dang my arm is sore this morningstupid shots. (not quite as bad as the anthrax shot series though)
Got a price? I know a few people looking for something bigger.My struts on the expedition are shot, but it's been parked for almost two years now. I really need to sell it and get it outta my yard.

At this point I'd take $1500 for it. It's a 1998 5.4 v8 4wheel drive, not jacked up or anything lolGot a price? I know a few people looking for something bigger.

I got Ninja to change the oil in Godzuki yesterday.If I win the lottery, I'm gonna build a house and install my own lift in the garage. I could buy all these parts myself and do the repair work myself for half the price.

Anthrax shots are worse...specially the 3rd in the series....and yes, we were young jar heads...so we didn't just slap the armOr typhoid?
Remember the shot that left ya with a dead arm for three days, and everybody just had to remind ya of it by slapping the shot spot![]()
