Hello, <br> I'm new to this supra club. Heck I havent even gotten my Supra yet. But I think I'll Have it in a couple weeks. But the thing is the car needs Front struts. How much are these going to cost me? The car is a automatic, turbo, 107,000 miles, leather, targa top, and others. Susposly it has EVERY option avalable in 88. The car is a dark smoke grey/charcole metalic color. Very good/sharp car. I plan to fix it up and put different rims on the car. So what is the bolt pattern? I would like ot konw as much as possable about these cars. Thanks<br>DeRrIcK<br>currenty a 1990 Yellow Beretta INDY pace car *(1 of 1,000)

Well, <br> When i push on the front it bounces about 3-5 times. And when driving and you hit a bump it feels like your on a boat. This is the reason why I feel it needs shocks<br>Thanks<br>DeRrIcK

That's right, it should bounce about one and a half times. Down-Up-Down. Check and see if you've got fluid leaking out around the piston seals. <br><br>Be careful about doing a mac strut change yourself- I recommend taking it some place. Mac Struts are usually always under pressure and tend to uncoil when you loosen them. They can spring out with pretty good force, enough to damage your car and others, maybe even cripple or kill you if your head is in the worng place. Follow ALL the safety protocols.
