Re: [MBZ] OT Irma

Rick I don't know, I bought these KYB struts in a rush from Rusty's Buy
Jap-Car Parts.com "back in the day".  I didn't have a lot of time to look
around, and the genuine Nissan struts were incredibly expensive.

Some predictions have changed. It looks like it may go up the east coast of 
Florida and on to points north, or go further out to sea and spare Florida 
except for high tides along the east coast.

The weather bureau in Miami always makes the likelyhood of a hurricane hitting 
Florida worse than it is since there are lots of tourists and new residents who 
would not make preparations. 
The meteorologists are rated on their reports of size, strength, and direction 
of hurricanes; but even more severely on loss of life. 
Hurricanes alone don't deter tourists and people moving to Florida, but loss of 
life from hurricanes does.

The latest trend is for Irma to veer sharply to the North - with the eye
passing to the East of, sparing it a direct hit.  What would follow is a
whole slew of possible tracks as the storm makes its way up the coast,
including a direct hit on Charleston.  Yikes!  Or it could barrel out to
sea...

Stupid question, and I will probably do an Internet search on it in a few. 
Does Koni still make shocks and struts?
Back in the day (40 plus years ago) them and Bilstein were the stuff.

That's what we're hoping to do. Looks like it might be working.

If it hangs out and makes it into the Gulf we'll be in big trouble. The NE 
quadrant of these storms is the worst, and would inflict the most damage.

Just had it aligned, so I'll put up a stink if they should have caught this 
with the list of other stuff they caught (like entire control arm with ball 
joint on other side).  Struts are relatively low mileage, but 8 years old and 
KYB which is lower end stuff.

You left off a zero.  That's the minimum dealer charge for anything these

Probably about $100 or so, if it is a lower ball joint like I suspect.

Florida needs to wind up and when Irma hits, hit her back and knock her out
into the Atlantic.

I sure hope not, but filled up the tank with diesel this a.m. (2.43 /
gallon, cheapest I've seen in the last couple days) and I'm going to start
organizing / preparing this evening.  SWMBO is taking her car (Infiniti) in
to see about getting some suspension clunk fixed.  She picked up a couple
cases of water last night.
