In trying to fix my front shudder problem I finally bit the bullet and changed the struts. I thought that it might have been an installation problem or possibly a strut mount problem. Turns out the struts were shot. I put these in 50,000 miles ago. They are the cheap boge standard but I think they should have lasted longer than that. I put in bilsteins so I shouldn't have that problem. I took off the three ball joint bolts this time to lower the strut out. I think it would be easier leaving those things on.
