I recently was told, after getting an oil change that my 1999 Dodge Caravan (130,000 miles) needs new struts at a cost of about $700, Last spring I was told the same thing about my grandmas 1991 Ford Escort with less than 70,000 miles on it, for just under $700.
I have never heard of anyone I know replacing the struts on their vehicle and I'm feeling like it's more of a money maker for the mechanics than is necessary. I'm not sure the cost will be worth it for how soon I might get another vehicle.(though I really like my Caravan!) I don't feel excessive bouncing of my Caravan when I drive, and it seems to run fine. Any input is appreciated.
