My passenger front strut made it to 83,000 milesI had the front right strut of my 5 blow its oil out all over the inside of the wheel well and inside of the wheel. That front right wheel was bouncing pretty hard with no shock absorbing going on. Strange that the strut only made it to 75,000 miles. (sadbanana)
Anyway, I had the front struts replaced today at the local repair shop and got a four wheel alignment done as well. Pretty much a requirement with a strut job, I suppose.
The good thing is that I left my usual transport load in the back for the alignment job. Hopefully, my rear tires will wear like a live axle pick up truck from here on out.

my driver front strut made it to 86,000 miles.
replaced them both with Bilsteins. Car rides phenomenal. Did the work myself.
Replaced both rear with Bilsteins as well (didn't need them. rears were perfectly fine).
