I believe the two front struts on my car are shot. Bouncing up and down when hitting a bump. I will be replacing them soon, any suggestions on what to get? Also when I turn right every once and a while there is a clunk. I am assuming its a ball joint, and I will replace that also. Any other suggestions to buy while I have this done? Strut tower brace? Sway bars? Springs?

Thanks guys
 


It seems most disagree with me, but I like the Monroe Quickstrut. They were priced well, already assembled, and the ride height stayed almost exactly the same as stock. The best part was that they were made in the USA.
 
Quick struts are already assembled you just slap them in. If you want to lower the car you need to get blank struts and build them. If you do don't cheap out and re-use your mounts, you'll regret it. (Ask me how I know).
How many miles on the car BTW?
Strut tower braces and sway bars are good bang for your buck mods. You can do stbs and F&r sways for like $250.
There are people that will tell you they love or hate any spring or strut, so doing your research and evaluating your budget is the best bet.
 
I will prolly stick with stock ride height. Could I put in quick struts with basic tools, jack and a jack stand?

stb or sways if I had to go with one I dont wanna spend too much the car has 105 k on it.
 


Yeah you need big sockets I forget if the bottom bolts are 20mm or 22mm.
If you had to choose b/w front or rear sways get the rear, it is easier and the back of the car needs it more. For the braces you can get both for like $25. There is a thread on here with the link but I forget it. Since you're already taking your struts out drill out your towers out and install the braces then you won't need the $80 don rome brackets.
So you could get the GMPP rear sway and both braces and be under $100.
