Shocks and struts and anything else?

[trypsix]

I need to replace my rear shock, it creaks like hell, and I'm sure that's just impressing all the ladies. I figured I'd get the remainder of the suspension (struts and shocks) while I'm at it. My car is pushing 95K

What else should I replace? My toyo-dealer suggested the upper strut shocks and strut support assembly (or something to that effect) too, but i wasn't paying attention to that as much as I was paying attention to the $1065 quote they were giving me.

Advice is greatly appreciated

While you're down there check out your rubber bushings in the strut rods and suspension arms. These should all be nice and tight in their fittings. If not, consider replacing them (I haven't found a source for just the bushings. I think that you have to buy the entire rod or arm. If you find otherwise please post your source!). It probably would help if you treated them with silicone spray to help keep them flexible and quiet longer. There is a suspension support that the top of the shock mounts to. Make sure that it isn't tearing when you attach the shock.
