I have a 94 Mark8 with 96K. Front end has been clunking a lot lately - mostly on the left side. I brought to my mechanic and I’m pretty sure we’re at least gonna do the left upper control arm and stabilizers. I did the right upper arm a couple of years ago. We also talked about struts and it might also be time. I haven’t heard back on whether they are shot (they are not leaking). I know that since we’re doing the upper arm it’s be easy to get in and do the struts. If it is time, I’m trying to decide which way to go. I think he quoted $470 for OEM and $350 for aftermarket. This is the price of the part – no labor. This seems high to me but not sure. I’m thinking of just ordering a set of arnotts for $179 each and trying them out. Anyone have any bad experiences with them?
FYI – I only put about 5K miles a year on this car and plan to keep it for at least a few more years.
Thanks for any info or help!!
