Hummm, that sound good. The miles perhaps a bit high, i don't know. I know mine went koo koo at about 76k. I'd have to wonder how long the used ones would hold up.
Input from anyone else on this?

$40 for both fronts. Yes they are OEM Bilsteins, non-CAT, standard equipment on all '97 models. They should easily last for at least another 40K miles. Like I said, I thought they were causing shimmy in the front end. Later the culprits causing the problem turned out to be some rubber parts and bushings, and not the shocks. But by then, I already had installed new ones. They are just taking up space in my garage and I have no need for them. Gordo
