Car Forum / Subaru Cars / November 2008Strut replacement
The strut for the right rear wheel of m 1999 OBwagon broke after only 160,000 miles! The rattle finally penetrated my brain and made me realize that something was wrong and sent me to my mechanic. He replaced both left and right rear struts, bleeding the brakes, etc. in a three-hour job and charged me about $500. Was that about right?

My '99 has about the same mileage...original struts too...what did it do for your ride? -John O On Nov 21, 10:44 am, "John O" <johnospama...@lottaspamheathkit.com> wrote: > > The strut for the right rear wheel of m 1999 OBwagon broke after only > > 160,000 miles!

But consider that whenever I crossed the smallest bump in the road, the broken pieces of the failed strut rattled noisily against its environment, not to mention the bouncing, Now the ride is quiet and not so bouncy. I am sold on my new mechanic. He talks to me like a human being and doesn't overcharge me. He has two walls of letters from satisfied customers in his waiting room.

My mechanic is David Anker, who runs his own shop in Schenectady, NY on Van Vranken Avenue. with perhaps 6 employees. I learned about him through several personal friends. We all agree! He's in the phone book. Ben > On Nov 21, 10:44 am, "John O" <johnospama...@lottaspamheathkit.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Uncle Ben Why not share his name and location here?
