Yea there are a lot of kits like the nsl300 (i think that’s what its called?) Or the most popular and preferred method using timeserts. If you look around the internet, you can find them for about $400-$500 a kit.

Well, an independent shop did this…I believe it was a Monroe Sensa-trac? Am I getting that right? Anyways yes the car creaks when you push the fenders down, but while driving it is a knock noise to clarify. So I should be checking strut mounts, ball joi
