Re: 1996 cavalier 2.2 shocks

I think you mean strut, not shock (talking about the front end, right?). I like the "Quick Struts" (I think they're Monroe, other manufacturers probably have the same thing with a different name), they come fully assembled with new everything. You should do the mounts any time you do struts, and Quick Struts are only a little bit more than struts and mounts, but you get new dust boots, bump stops, springs, and spring isolators.

If you do mean shock (rear), just do the shock. The springs require additional and unnecessary work. The new shock will come with new bushings ("mounts"?).

When you buy something... a bottle of pop for example, who gets the profit from it and what do they do with it? Maybe your money's going to groups that want to hurt you. I think everyone should do a search for things they purchase regularly "____ supports". Might just find a company you won't buy stuff from anymore.
