i would suggest strut mounts and bearings as well...and if your springs are saggy i would also replace those. I do believe those will work, ive never used those before so i couldnt tell yah how they are.

Just getcha a few of these! http://www.oreillyauto.com/EW3/Prod...4.253.235.80&keyword=strut&descriptionId=3501

Quick and easy stock replacement. That way you dont have to dissassemble the whole assembly. And it comes with mounts/springs etc.

Dont break the pinch bolt. You might not have a problem from Texas but if it gets hard to loosen, tighten it back up a couple of times to work it loose. You do NOT want to break it!

No you will not need a spring compressor.

I almost thought about buying those to use for a little while, just after adding the mounts, bearings, spring seats, wasn't too much more for the coils and struts.

i didnt break it but haynes says to replace it everytime its taken off... anyone have a part number so i can get a couple from az or kragen...? same with the nuts on the stabilizer bars... i had to dremel one of them off they were so difficult...

or just measurements and type on the bolts and nuts and i should be able to figeure them out....

AK 50 / and AK 52 some places for the bolt and nut. I think those are NAPA numbers, Rock auto numbers, and autozone numbers. Not positive tho.
