I have a 2002 base 986 with 136k on it, both my front struts are leaking and I think the car is essentially running on the springs at this point. I have a pretty bad steering wheel shake that I think the shot struts are a major contributer to.
I'm going to attempt a DIY replacement, based on research so far it doesn't seem
TOO scary and I've tackled a lot of other DIY jobs on the car successfully.
I'm trying to figure out the best path forward without breaking the bank. So far this seems the most economical path:
2
BILSTEIN 22113313 B4 OE Replacement Struts from rock auto: $430
2
Front Strut Mounts 99734301801 from rock auto: $60
2
Bump stops 99634330102 from rock auto: $10
I'm able to borrow the spring compression tool from a neighbor, is there anything else I should order ahead of tackling this?
Thanks as always for the help!
