after about 2 years of ignoring the rattle from the front left wheel, i replaced the struts.
Damn. I didnt realise how rooted the left strut realy was. the shaft just wobbles around in the hole! it is soo rooted, that when i pulled on the shaft (extenting it) and let it go, it fell straght back down! but i fixed it, now its good. i forgot how good the car rides with shocks.

i just bought monroes from auto barn and payed $119 each.
i fitted them myself, but the magna has a very long spring and it was very hard to compress far enough. but i did it, and now its good

I find the easiest way for me is $75 from the wreckers, and its the entire suspension assembly, so jack it up, undo a few bolts, remove, replace, re-bolt and away you go.

Notice a huge difference hey, alot nicer to drive :)

Picking up my KYB front and rears dampers for $430 on Monday.

Still got the King Spring lows to fit, new bump stops and possibly camber/cast kit.

Was going to get the front and rear sway bars, but Jo doesnt exactly use it for hardcore performance.. (its a daily driver)
