LAMP!
I was quoted $1550.00 for front end suspension on my 09 Maxima! I have a four day weekend so I shopped around for parts and found THE MAN at Advance Auto Parts!!! He got me strut assemblies and control arm assemblies for 400 less than list price!. (Cool ass heavy metal manager!)
I have one side done so far. When I am done, and pay for an alignment my total will be 700ish. I saved almost $900!!!
Admittedly, I am out of practice...couldn't find my 1/2 inch ratchet, and I am missing a my 20mm wrench, but I made due with a big crescent, lol.
These cars are engineered so well nowadays that repairs like this are pretty easy if you have the time and desire.
