I guess this car don't have struts ? it'll be $120 for install .. $30 a corner no tax on top.. vs. probably 3 days for me to do it ,haha I'll take the $120 to win !

. I found myself 'in there' to find the issue and a fix for it ..well such a good paint coat it filled up the threading . so tap n die out to clean up the threads . pulled myself out after we found a solution not until after my fingers got all sooty from under the car . haha why when I pay a place to do something do I still get all up in there !? need to learn to "let others do" haha well still haven't finished yet so next report will be after I've driven it home and felt any difference .. can't wait for that ..

well 3 house later and a plate of cookies for tip and he's on the last shock .. haha got the back ones on where the paint was in the threading But , the front shocks Had a too sleeve that was in the way for install . old ones didn't have this too sleeve . so they pull me up again and showed me this . so I kindly said to them , what time do y'all close ? I'll have those off in 30 mins and bring them back to u .... they looked at each other and after a second said , well I can do that . so they did . on the last shock now ... only 3 1/2 hours for the shocks to go on ... ! haha thank God I didn't do it at home that's for sure .. but I'm starving still no food yet today but my hands r still clean .. hahaha ugh
