Sunday at 08:28 PM1 day comment_676222 I would stay focused on the hot idle in traffic you have been talking about. If you haven't noticed the rough ride from worn suspension I wouldn't be concerned what the quick oil guys say. You'll see that in the wear of your tires.Google "240z struts". They aren't shocks.

I would like to change the complete set. For certain both front shocks are worn. Is there a better supplier or is this one ok?
