Default RE: strut & spindle question '00 Sub. Outback



A new strut is going to be several times more expensive than a good used one.

If you had the tools, you could do some of the work yourself.

But my guess is that if you did that much damage - you also damaged the lower control arm andthe ball joint - so you are looking at more than just a spindle and strut replacement.

Along with a good front end alignment and a check on the frame machine by a qualified mechanic.

Your best bet is to turn it into the insurance company and pay the deductable.

Go to www.car-part.com and look up the price of the needed components.
