jzqj55 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Finally replaced my front air struts w/ OE replacements No longer hearing the noise from the top of strut which has gotten worse during the last year Can't say I notice a significant difference in the ride/handling which is impressive since they were last replaced about 5 -6 years ago=120k miles Currently have 220k miles on it (2009 AWD) I know I could have saved $ w/ aftermarket, but I was a engineer w/ big3 and I've seen studies showing that aftermarket parts are often lacking And since the OE parts have given me good service, I don't mind paying more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have OE replacements on Ebay for about $6-700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
