发帖数: 237 | 1 Drving a 2004 Honda Element. 60K. Dealer service man told me that I need
change both rear struts. quote $550 for the job.
Tried called around. Three shops called either too busy or nor willing to do
the job.
Parts can be purchased around $80/each online. How hard is it to change it
yourself?
Alignment was done a month ago. I assume that changing struts should not
affect alignment?
Thanks. |

把车顶起来,拆掉轮子,就能拆了.主要就是拧螺丝,但是看起来简单,做起来可能挺费事的
另外换完得重新做alignment

发帖数: 237 | 9 Can anyone clarify this? DO I really need new alignment after installation
of new struts for rear side?
I thought you only need to do that with front struts replacement. |
