This particular model has rear self leveling struts and recently they went bust. My dealership is asking 4 million pesos (about 2235 USD) for the replacements.

If I go this way, what other components of the suspension should I replace? Thanks in advance for your help.

Springs come in three basic flavors. (Read More…)
