hey people,

im in need of some help. has anyone got any experience in installing front suspension struts and castor bushes?

my front right strut is leaking and my castor bushes are worn so im looking to replace both front struts and the castor bushes.

when driving my car feels really unstable and shakey especially over bumps and also i can hear metal clanking from the front right wheel.

mechanics are looking for $250 to replace and fit both castors and around $900 to replace the struts. on ebay theyve got the front struts for $280 for a pair and the castors for $120

so if anyone on here from vic is/was a mechanic or who can install these for me im willing to pay.

cheers

I'd like to know a good bmw suspension place as well.

Advantage suspension in Moorabbin springs to mind.
