Part list for replacing CX-9 Struts and Shocks?

[Deathspared]

I’m looking to have a local shop replace the shocks and struts on my 2016 cx9 and want to make sure I order all the OEM parts I should have them install.

Shocks
Struts
Strut mounts?
New dust covers?

I’ll probably have them replace the sway bar end links while they are in there.

Any insight? Thanks

It's not a difficult install on the front.

The rear is just a bit harder since the lower control arm has to be removed. I use a floor jack to lift the control arm in place.

It's about a half day job on jack stands.

How many miles?

I would just replace the shocks unless the other parts are showing wear. Unfortunately, if a shop is doing it, you are at their mercy if they think the other parts need to be replaced.

Even if you have to buy some tools, I'm betting it will cost you less if you DIY.

105k miles. Id have to bring the struts some where to get the springs swapped anyway.

I have a spring compressor. I've about worn it out compressing springs over the years.

I use to take my struts to independent shops and get them to swap out the shocks.

I'm sure you can find a good local shop who will do this work and then check the alignment...
