Need some advise on replacing struts on SL2
I have changed a dozen pair or so of front struts over the past 10 years. Well
I decided to let the local front end shop do the job since I am no longer crazy about messing around with a loaded spring bomb! I decided against the local shop doing the job when the NEW OWNER came up with a price of $400+ for just two front Monroe Sensatracs installed with an alignment! Price will be additional $140 if bearing plates are needed! I have been sending my front end work/alignment work there for over 20 years. That may change. Anyway, I decided to get some info to do this job myself. I have access to all the tools for the job. Now I am getting all kinds of stories on what parts I will need to do the job on my '92 SL2. Obviously I need the 2 struts. Then I am told to buy 2 boot kits. Then Monroe's website suggest that I purchase 2 lower installation kits. The guy at Advanced Auto Parts suggest that I also purchase 2 bearing plates... I doubt I am going for the bearing plates until I check them... but what about the boot kits and lower installation kits? Anyone done this job with any suggestions? Thanks, |
