I just went to NTB cause my car was pullin to the left earlier this week, they fixed the alignment but they also said that my rear struts are out.

When the car was up on the lift, I could push the rear wheels up by myself.

Are my struts really out? If they are, is immediate replacement necessary? (I put 100 miles on my car each shift at work) Also, how much $$ is involved labor and parts in replacing these things.

its nothing that will kill you if you keep driving on them. just means there blown and if you want your car to handle good again and not bounce around on the road then you should replace them.

my struts need to be replaced also. sucks.

my boots were ripped to but the KYB's have alot tighter seals than stockers....so you really dont even need boots....i dont have any on...i would advise you to get the boots but i didnt have time so i just put them on without.
