    Help! SHOCKS/STRUTS/CONTROL ARMS

    Hi, It's not the engine light, it's the read bar, I believe he used an air gun to tighten everything.

    Help! SHOCKS/STRUTS/CONTROL ARMS

    I replaced my front struts for $930.00 for both original parts, but now I am getting a reading saying can't go past 80 MPH and also service ride control, can you tell me why? Maybe they forgot to put a sensor on? I am baffled it's the same original part as the old one.

    Help! SHOCKS/STRUTS/CONTROL ARMS

    Thank you, yes cheapest I found was $423 from RockAuto.com. So I should just buy the shocks for now, I don't believe the control arms rubber are bad, but will check. Is there anything else I hear people changing them out for Bilsteins which what would be the difference between those and OEM's?
