In reply to David. I don't recall the exact breakdown of each part, but the total order for the struts and bottles shipped to me was right around $360. I think the tank was around $100 and the struts made the difference of that total. Definitely get OEM struts as it's not worth it to bother with AutoZone equivalent replacements. You need the base plate and the new ball joint fasteners. You can probably salvage and transfer over that stuff to aftermarket struts, but it'd be a lot of work.

Hey Eric,
Just curious, what did the struts and bottle cost you? My struts are starting to give way too, and my bottle is turning a little yellow as well.
Thanks!
