I just am looking for a straigt answer. My search started with a sale at Canadian Tire for Monroe Sensa-Trac struts...but then I did some searching here and noticed a lot of people say avoid them.
So I think I've settled on the BAT suspension.
Contour SE V6 Sport, 65,000km Questions:
1) Do I NEED the camber/caster adjustment kit ($75 per wheel!)?
NO

Maybe. Get under there & check. I'll bet you could use some new lower control arms... Just check the condition of things before you start throwing money at it.

Need more info about your car. Specifically, what model year is it?

CTA has been good to deal with. Otherwise, find out what shipping is from BAT. You might also check the other threads here for bargain struts from Bill Jenkins & get the part numbers in the thread. Then contact your local Ford dealer to see if they can give you the super-duper deal for those part numbers. Sup'm like $30 a strut or sup'm like that, dirt cheap.
Originally posted by Rob___: 5) Also...anything that I should replace while I have this thing apart?
End links, check the control arms, strut mounts maybe, you really have to get it looked at to see what wear items you'll need. You do have fairly low miles, so you may not need much.

I know this is here in the forums already (if I was to look at thousands of threads I might actually find what I'm looking for ...eventually 
Thanks in advance
Bushings are suggested, but with your low miles, you may not need them yet.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
