Need shocks for '864kq

[Brian O'Neill]

shocks will not affect ride height !!!! unless one of
them is broken. you may want to look into this a
little more if you really think the ride height
changed !!!! broken spring ???? broken sway bar mount
???? broken sway bar link ????? if you want cheap
shocks, go to pep boys, advanced auto, auto zone. also
get new upper strut mounts , usually about 10-20 bucks
each, get good ones, if you get them from pep boys
they will last about 6 months and they will collapse.
you need a spring compressor to change them and the
special socket to loosen the nut on the top of the
shocks makes it easy too. you can do without, but it
is so much nicer !!!!
