Default Need a front strut!

Noticed a weird feeling coming from the right front today and pulled over for a check. Oil coved the entire wheel well and there is oil dripping off the spring perch.

If anybody has some front struts they will sell cheap and I mean cheap that would be great! This is my daily so I need something fast!

Thanks
Bobby

Same thing happened to me but on the driver side. I've yet to replace it since it's not my daily but I found them online for $88 plus shipping.

Ok well luckily I dont through any car parts away lol even 80k miles struts that still have a little life left. These things have been in the shop and I have been to lazy to through them out and I'm glad I didn't now! I was able to salvage one and get my car on all four again. I'll still be looking for a set cause I have a practically new front left and over 80k on the front right lol

Hey, where did you find them online for $88 a side? Is this for new?
