Are my struts finished?

[hpfiend]

Hey all,

We have a '95 with 107,000 miles... My wife bought the car at 55,000 and I doubt it had the struts replaced then...

The car rides pretty rough but it doesn't bounce more than once when pushed on a corner...

Autozone wants $680.00 for some sort of Gabriel struts? That is for all four struts....

It appears KYB AGX adjustables are only 419 for all four? What am I missing?

BTW I have searched but have not found anything relating to prices or testing struts

Thanks a lot!

Go KYB, and yes they are due for a change.

so I wasn't misquoting- those prices are correct.. that's outrageous...

Thanks,hpfiend

I'd replace the shock/strut mounts where they attach to the body at this time too. They're probably a bit worn from the miles.

BTW - feel good that this only happens to you guys around 90-100k miles, struts wear out on E36 M3's after about 30-50k miles!

well the best way to see if your struts are out, is when the car isolates when the suspension is being compressed, and you reported it doesn't, so the problem might be somewhere else
