I'm cheap; because money is going to things that have priority.... so... I was browsjng Ebay... I wonder, does it matter where the parts are from, and price? The 2001 Kia Sportage needs a suspension overhaul, and locally thats in the thousands of dollars if using Les Schwab (struts, springs, shocks, bushings) versus less than half that much using Ebay and local auto parts stores, and doing as much of it myself as humanly possible (probably would need to invest in coil spring tools and jack stands if not renting).
The main expenses from Ebay would be the struts and coil springs, but local would provide the bushings and spring cups likely.
Kia chassis have around 143,000 miles; likely time to overhaul the suspension.
