Four Tokico HP Blue strut assemblies, installed by same dealer in 2004 on our (now-totaled) 1999 Prizm, installed on this Prizm. Four-wheel thrust-center alignment performed also. Result is major improvement in ride & handling! Goes where you point it now |
| 123000 mi US $98 |
Front struts blown, causing excessive tire wear & unpredictable handling in high speed transitions over less-than-smooth roads. Along with other needed repairs; struts, upper strut mounts, shaft boots & labor exceed residual value of vehicle. |
