My 2012 mazda 5, we owned since new
The front passenger side had been making a clunking noise over bumps
Took to dealer to do hatch recall, and had the dealer check it out
I thought it was sway bar bushing
Dealer says passenger side front strut is completely blown and driver side is leaking
Is it feasible for struts to be blown at this mileage ?
1) if I replace both, what brand would you guys recommend?
I looked on tirerack and I am confused as some are sold as front shock for about $65 and some say front strut housing for $180 each
I just need front strut/shock not the housing, right ?
