[QUOTE="Larry Michael, post: 1037877, member: 71722"] This afternoon I visited with a nearby independent mechanic with high ratings on the CarTalk mechanics files list. He will install parts I supply for $210. According to the pricing software he uses, there was no difference in the labor charge between installing new struts and strut assemblies. We were both surprised at that since there is obviously a difference in installation time. Based on two recommendations here, I'll order the Monroe assemblies from rock auto. My Ford dealer recommended doing an alignment after replacing these struts. I'm ignorant about why that would be needed for rear strut replacement. Help educate me. [/QUOTE]
