I need to replace the rear rotors and all struts on my ST165. I have a modest budget. Any recommendations or advice is greatly appreciated.

Front struts are easy to replace, you can get them from Rock Auto. I recently purchased a pair of these: MONROE Part # 73238.

Rear's require cutting and welding to get an insert in there, they are sealed and I don't believe anyone sells the entire strut assembly.

Rotors, you can get whatever fits your budge from Rockauto.com or spend a bit more and get some Brembo blanks and hawk pads.

If your just DD'ing, why not get standard stuff?

Anyway..........if your not looking for performance gains, I would hit up rock auto or ebay. If you would like some improvement maybe look into converting all struts into coilovers and get readily available inserts. Just my 2 cents.

And odd favor. If you just replace all your struts, can I have the old ones? I want to make coilovers for my trac, but prefer to learn welding on junk parts lol.

There is a difference between the shock and strut replacement.
I dont know any company that makes a full strut for the rear, they almost all require some good cutting, and a collar welded on.
Go with something nice like a koni or kyb AGX you wont regret it

My bad. I just did a quick search and found those. Are the rear struts on our tracs really that different?

I would like to know the difference too cause they look pretty damn close to be the same.
