Time for a new strut

[jtoddk98]

Took my car for an alignment at the dealer today. When I had my wheels off for painting, I noticed that the inside of the tire on the drivers side front was worn smooth. After a few mins of my car being in the air at the dealer, they called me back. Turns out the minor accident my car had with the first owner back in 2012, it slightly bent the strut, and they can't adjust it out. Must have taken a light hit to the front fender. The guy at the dealer inspected the rest of the car, everything looks great, nothing else bent etc. Just the strut. I found the strut on tasca for $82, but every shop I called wants 2 hours labor to do it, so about $210. Why so much labor?

What strut part number so I need? I went on tasca and there are many different last letters in the part number

Future reference this dealer is cheaper than Tasca with parts and shipping.

Thanks! I'll order from there then. I'm guessing I have suspension code E?

Im not sure if your in a hurry cause sometimes these parts are not in stock and would verify the availability and code E is correct. Z
