Message	You may have gotten away with reusing your old parts, but it is not recommended, especially at that mileage. Even if they still fit, they no longer have the same performance as new. Also, it sucks to get the suspension apart to find a bump stop crumbled in half and have to wait on a new component. Just because you cheap out on important parts, don't go giving poor advice to others.
