Doing an inspection on a squeaky serpentine belt the other day, and I noticed this:

The other side is decidedly NOT misaligned as this seems to be. I remember this being a little less cocked to the upper right. What exactly might have happened here and how difficult is it to do a front strut job on this car?

you might investigate the cost of new "loaded" front struts, I get the vague impression that top mount is wearing out due to rust through, and a loaded unit will have a fresh mount. OR just the cost of the top plate, only...

You can buy new Quick Struts for those cars for about $135/ea. I believe that the quick strut is the same as Ken saying "loaded".

And don't forget to put a proper end on that wire, and clean the metal it's grounded to.

struts on these cars are super easy. those 3 nuts on top and 2 bolts at the bottom, and its out.

 

if its not making noise, i wouldnt worry.

quick thought:

 

with teh car in park and the hood open, rock the car and make sure that it isn't shifting. if it isn't, It's probably fine.
