My indy did a thorough inspection after I bought the car and found (I think) the one you mentioned to have bushings that were going bad. All others were OK at that time (2 years ago). I replaced those struts earlier this year with the upgrade parts (210 350 33 06, ********AZ calls it "control arm camber strut") including the 12mm bolt kit, about $50 total. I need to rotate my tires and that will give me a good opportunity to re-check all of the bushings.

I also need to replace the two bushings at the rear of the differential. I bought the parts before I realized it took a special puller and now don't know whether to get that (hate to buy a tool for one time) or to let my indy do the job.
