Strut and axle replacement do not require engineering degrees to replace or Swiss bank accounts to buy the parts. Especially struts on the FWD are easy. I realize this is daunting if you have no experience (or a 36 mm socket), but none of us did when we started. Cars are expensive if you have to have it all done, so I hear. I have not required a mechanic for a 12-13 years, since internet self help came on the scene. Not once, never. DIY or pay, but it can be done as many of us have found. I think your parts wore out a bit quickly, and yes, there will be more repairs in your future. I do not think that is avoidable. If you can, drive it to Claus's house and block him in 'til he helps you.
