I'm ready to install my front struts...
I'm going to need all suggestions possible, I also wanted to ask if I should replace any other parts that connects to the front strut,-seals, etc. I was lucky to have a workmate that had a mechanic shop and lent me his spring compressor. That gives me the reason to replace the front first struts and then the rear ones.
By the way I finally got all bibrations eliminated, with the front rims reconditioned. And Sears was able to replace all four tires, I had to pay the difference of mileage usage from the old ones, but what the heck I said, and pay the amount.
I'm going to go with the sensatrack or the Reflex. Does anyone know if I could get just the inserts and keep the housing. Could they be available in NAPA or AUTOZONE..?
One more question: when you buy the strut, say from NAPA. Do they sell you a kit with seals and what not?
Does the Coil Insulator has to be replaced?
Thanks, team.

I used the complete cartridges from Advanced Auto (Sensatrac). They come preassembled with new springs and bearings. A little most cost, not too bad, and definately worth it. Pop out, pop in, pop the cork, have a drink.
