Thanks, Ralph!

As I have not done spring/strut job myself before, do I need spring compressor for this work?

Does the car need front wheel alignment after that job, as my local US car specialized shop said?

My Alero is 2001 btw. But I can locate the parts myself now, as you helped me with correct term to search for.

I was quoted for 71€ / ~$90 for ONE strut bearing here, not including the work. (I am in Europe). Ofcourse if I order directly from US, I also need to pay for shipping and taxes, but still, it would me much cheaper. Because of the weight and shipping costs it would get very expensive to get the entire assembly though. I would not dare to ask what they ask for entire assembly here locally
