Worked on the brick for several hours this morning. One of my tasks was to change the tie-rod ends. While changing them I noticed that the ball joint covers/seals were both totally torn around their circumference and that one of my struts was leaking. Looks like I have some more work ahead. I have never changed struts. Are they a DIY job or are they best left to a pro? I know I can handle the ball joints.

By the way, I am still looking for a 3515364 wiring harness should anyone have on that they are willing to sell.

Thanks,
Michael
