[luke rn club med]

hi
just got my car(rn club med mk1) back from the garage due to the front wheels not sitting stright the top of the wheel is higher than the bottom on one wheel and the other way round on the other and they said to me due to the age of the car(1997) and the value its not worth it for me to pay them to order in the parts and do the work has it would be to expencive
they said the parts that could be bent to cause the problem were the strut, the hub and the bearings and advised gettin ones from a scrappy and they could fit them for around £80
i was wondering is the strut the same as a shock absorber
is £80 around the right price for the work
and how much should i be looking to pay for the parts
oh yea and is thats what really likly to be whats wrong with it
cheers luke

Just put a set of new shocks on it, if the bearings are fine when you take them off leave them! You could go to a scrappy to get them or go to www.gsfcarparts.com Where are you based mate?
