Question: what is necessary

Question

Visitor, 3.0L V6, Lake Forest, IL, October 21, 2010, 13:17

I have 108,000 miles and recently replaced the AC. Now I am told I need struts and new tires. At 90,000 I did not have the timing belts replaced, is this really necessary? The ride is fine, what about the struts, I don't think they have been replaced?

    The timing belt needs to be replaced because this engine is an interference engine and that means internal engine damage will occur if it breaks and tires are important in winter driving. You can get both estimates here www.repairpal.com/estimator and locate a shop near you here www.repairpal.com/directory the tire shop can check the struts when having the tires installed
