front struts seem to be discontinued. what's some OEM direct fits for 2001 civic EX? looking at rockauto and what i can find on the internet, monroe seems mixed and i haven't heard much about gabriel. i'm just thinking about pulling from junkyard, is that a good idea or too risky play
my owner's manual only goes up to 120k and im currently at 135.7k. i got it at 133k.
important maintenance or things to know:
- timing belt replaced at 112k
- fluids flushed in 2024 (no mi reported on carfax)
- brakes checked & serviced in 2025
- i did: drain & refilled ATF and coolant, oil change, new drive belts, new radiator & coolant hoses, new thermostat, & rotated tires (did not inspect brake pads which i should've done). shop did new headgasket
what should i do for 140k? carfax recommended me this list. i'm learning cars and have only done basic mechanic stuff. any tips on how to inspect/ what to look out for or should i just take it to the shop for them to do?
