Default New Struts

Mechanic told me that the entire suspension piece would need to be replaced, might cost 2 grand, and I should just turn the radio on.
Is this something that the mechanic caused when he replaced the strut or is it just coincidence?
I really hate messing with such a fine car that ain’t broke.

Try Silicone spray lubricant on rubber bushes.

It tends to work better/lasts longer than WD40 in most cases.

It is still not a permanent solution.
