I just bought about $600 in suspension parts, and I will probably tackle it this weekend. Front and rear struts, mounts, boots and bumpers, and front sway bar end links which. I'm actually looking forward to this job, which is surprising considering the control arm replacement i did about 2 years ago when I hated the world afterward.
I also bought some cheapo impact drivers and sockets from harbor freight to try making my day a bit easier. They seemed way underpowerd compared to their ratings, and I just bought a used ingersoll rand driver on ebay and will return the HF ones. Also, as with any time I do car repairs, I start going crazy reading about tools and trying to fill out my socket sets, etc. I have lots of hand-me-down craftsman tools, but reading around makes me not want to augment with the new craftsman stuff. However, being a bit of a dweeb about it, I also want matching sets. Oddly enough, last time I bought a few sockets I didn't have, they were actually made in USA. Maybe individual sockets are procured differently from sets?? Maybe I could get lucky again.
