What else do I need? (Parts # included)

I am ordering from Canada, looking to get it all on one order to save on the shipping fee.

Thus far I have in my shopping cart (from RockAuto.com)

MONROE Part # 5779 Sensa-Trac Passenger Car (shocks, x2)

MOOG Part # K750012 9.86" Center to Center Problem Solver (Sway Bay/Stabalizer End Link)

MONROE Part # 172179R Quick-Strut

MONROE Part # 172179L Quick-Strut


Now are there any other parts I should pick up as well, is there a bushing or a different part I should switch something I've selected out for?

Thank you for your help.

I have a 2006 2LT

While you are under the car.... inspect the sway bar bushings, the lower control arm rear bushing, the hub/bearings, the brake pads. Replace as necessary.

I completed my order from RockAuto.com and was given my e-mail confirmation that it is being shipped via FedEx. It is coming to north east Saskatchewan so I expect it to take its time. I will be installing everything at the end of August when I am back from a road trip. The struts and everything are still in acceptable shape so will get one last ride on them before swapping them out.

I dropped the shocks as I was able to locate a price comparable local option for them.


The parts I ordered were:

(2) Moog #K6698 Control Arm Rear Bushing
(2) Moog #K750012 9.86 Sway Bar End Links
Monroe #172179R Quick-Strut
Monroe #172179L Quick-Strut

Will give an update on the install and then later on into fall to report how these parts have held up.

FWIW, there are a few suppliers on Ebay that are actually in the Great White North. One of my favorites has an outpost on some island in NY for us Amuricans.

all of those above mentioned parts are a must, also your tie rod ends, if original and if they have high mileage those might need to be replaced, just make sure you get an alingment after all the work is done
