    Maybe you can't find because there's not the demand, and/or it's not the norm? Or it's dangerous to ship? What would you need to assemble, spring compressors?

    Ya. Some tools like that. I just wanted it to be an easy install. It's bad enough I would have to disassembly lots of stuff forward if the firewall. I did that when I changed the plugs

    Yeah, wasn't that fun. Close to an hour wrenching, just to get AT the plugs.

    Yep. I just replaced the back shocks. I guess I'm 2013 they added a pass thru to get to the top of the shock. 2010.... you have to take out the trim panels. It isn't hard but man, they sure like making the techs money for hours of bs labor lol

    Somebody working on the front shocks was having a very hard time breaking loose the bolts that kind of clamp at the bottom. Not sure if he was succesful. Seems like air tools are mandatory, beyond my scope.

    I want to order a new strut assemblies for my 2010 gen 3 from amazon and I need to know if yours still work well? ( I have not any idea about where can I find a good one.)
    I really appreciate your answer.
