Hello this is GatorKen's wife again,

He just called and is having problems getting his struts off.

The bolts that secure the bottom end of the strut that connects to the control arm will not come out. Apparently they can get it 3/4 of the way out and it gets stuck. Any tips.

Thanks a bunch.

 

Try some pb blaster...and they're shocks

 

He got them off. Apparently the one rubber bushing inside was all chewed up and was getting the screw hung up. Thanks

 

06 and up are struts

 

No they are STRUTS A special shock that is part of the srping assembly too the tune of 110 bucks a pieice!!!Guess again dodge boy we have lived it.

 

where did you find them at 110 apiece? I can only find them at 200 per side and need them

 

Every time I read one of these threads makes me wanna keep my '03.

 

Ken's wife again.

We have been overwhelmed with the problems this truck has had since we bought it. Of course if any of the problems fall under recall issues we are told by the dealer, nope not your VIN, no recalls, yet we have the same issues. Ken has said this is the last Dodge he will own. While looking into issues, we find out by the time we purchased it with approx 20,000miles and it already had both front axle, calipers, rotors, and 1 wheel bearing replaced, among other things. This truck is a nightmare. Looks great but keeps breaking.
