I think I've got a bad rear strut, and I'm hoping to get some confirmation.
First...
its a 2004 EX FWD with 44,500 miles.
I was hearing a "thump" in the right rear when making sharp turns (like of of a driveway) and searched on here for an answer. It seemed that I was a victim of bad rear sway bar bushings.
When I went under the car to look, I noticed the bushings seemed fine, but I also noticed what looks like an oil on the coil spring/rear arms/even drips on the ground.
Is this the sign of a bad rear strut?
any idea on cost to replace? I assume I should do both rears... is it worth it to do the fronts too?
