My front end sounds like it's going to fall off every little bump I hit. I have an 02 LS with 85k miles on it. Do we think it's the struts, and if so, how much am I looking to spend on this. My friend says if it's the struts, he can install them if I can get them. So is there anyone on this list that can get discounted parts, and exactly which parts would I be needing for this? Can any of these questions even be answered without seeing the car and just on the sounds I described above. Thanks in advance.

Best place to get parts is from the vendor's on here. (ie. www.teamfordparts.com)

Is there a discount included on their site? I think I remember reading somewhere they give a discount to LVC members. I've been researching this and see that it could be struts, sway bar links, or stabilizers. Not being that car savvy, can anyone help me out and list these exact part names so I can look them up for pricing, and possibly just buy them all and replace everything so I know I get rid of the clunking.

I know I will get a lot of response: they are coil over shocks not struts.
As eastcoast27959 stated OEM is the way to go and www.teamfordparts.com is a place for a good price and customer service.

Their discount is good without the lvc discount. I mean, granted they are selling ignition coils for $48 when the dealer is charging $120+ a piece.

Shocks and sway bar are tuned together you might want to check on new sway bars to match.
