Iv been hearing this weird noise, and also feeling a strange bump, lately on my front right side of my car.
Then today when I was getting a flat patched, (waiting on new tires) I was informed that my strut had blown. Now I have seen losts of people who have aftermarket struts on. Always been interested but don't know much about them. So my question is thus: Should I get aftermarket struts, or stock ones? what will getting aftermarket ones do for me? Also I am planning on gettting some Coilovers soon, so if having aftermarket struts and those would be beneficial, is another question. Have any advice, or answers, please let me know! thanks |

Aftermarket will save money over the OE Toyota struts and usually have a better warranty. How soon are you planning on getting coilovers? New struts all around will be throwing money away if you plan on getting coils soon. However, I would replace the one blown strut at any rate, especially sitting on new tires. A blown strut will cause uneven wear on the new tire.

If it's not, then I'd get the coilovers instead of purchasing a single strut for ~ $100. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
