Another thing, the last time I had mechanic work, they charged me about 30% higher for parts above what I could by at the store. Are mechanics charging above retail for parts.
No damn strut needs anything close to 300 ft lbs......think it's a combat tank or some aircraft or something maybe nuclear powered???
