Hello,

I browsed a lot of threads but did not find all the info I need.

Went to the dealership and was told that my left front strut is leaking. Was told that I need to replace struts and mounts.

Was also told that there is a quick kit instead of the full kit (not sure what they meant - is it a special strut with mount ??).

Anyhow, I found on ott a kit with front, rear struts and shocks with springs. I am thinking about changing the whole thing instead of just the front (not sure it is good to change the front and not the rear) but I did not find anything about suspension mounts.

So, what would your advice be? change only the front struts and mounts? change front and rear and shocks? Where should i get mounts? Ever heard of the quick kit?

Thanks for your answer

Cobalt ss/sc 07 (I read that using the ss/tc strut/shocks is ok)

 

Depending on how many miles I would change the mount. They r known to make noise. Personally if I was over 60k I would do them. And the quick strut is a strut spring and mount kit already assembled. Which means no swapping springs and less labour. The mounts from ced are like 50 bucks each.

 

this for the info,

where can I find such assembled kit?

your best bet is to call c.e.d 1 877 441 5150 ask for tom and get the lnf struts and bearing asembly and depending on the miles replace the rear shocks with the lnf shocks they are an updated version of the lsj stuff

thanks for the info.

BCM,

for the mounts, should I get the bearing as well? at rock auto they have this

RAYBESTOS Part # 5201478 Professional Grade
Contains Bearing; Front for about 1/3 of the price of the ones u mentioned.

Am I missing something? and yes, I will replace the rear shocks as well but keep my oem springs (car has 100k).

I did all my research and put TC shocks struts and new MOOG mounts for around $350...i think..... Cheaper the CED all day long.....RA.com

 

I ended up ordering the fe5 pckg front/back and get some TC springs, and new strut mounts and bearing. waiting for 2 of the 3 to arrive and then... putting those on..
