Well there you go OP, DIY if you have basic mechanical skills/a few tools/jack/stands. Just take care with that nut removal & keeping the shaft from spinning. Wait that sounded bad...

I envy you guys who drive in nice climates.

I tried doing 1 strut myself after 4 canadian salty winters

I noped right out of that project after just trying to unbolt the knuckle....

Rust is a killer
