    Dealer is saying I need new struts and parking brake cables at my cost. For those that had the frame replacement, what have you replaced?
    Also, any idea on the cost for brake cables and should I replace just the strut or the whole kit?
    Thanks!

    Don't want to hijack your thread but I would like to know what everyone is having replaced as preventative maintenance while the frame is being done - some things should be cheaper to do while everything is a part. Thanks.

    I am haveing 5100s all around, Toytec AAL, New exhaust and front coils put on. Was told there would be some charge to do the front suspension because they don't actually take them all the way apart and maybe something for the AAL

    I'll be replacing the bushings on the steering rack. Not a lot of other suggestions when I asked this question some time ago. I have recent struts/shocks.
