The mechanic says the struts can become damaged if they are overextended while the CV joints are being replaced. If he knew this, why didn't he support the weight of the axle, or make a hanger to prevent the strut from extending too far? Sure, the struts may have been worn, but they were at least working. Now they are completely NOT working, and the tires are taking up the job of absorbing the bumps.
My question is: Is the strut problem because the mechanic wasn't carefull enough? Or is this problem something that couldn't have been prevented and therefore it is a risk I am now stuck paying for new struts?
