I'm pretty low on cash being Christmas and all and was looking for someone that knows what they're doing that would be confident enough doing some backyard work, or even just cheaper workshop stuff. I know it's not ideal, but I'm generally broke all the time so there is never really a ideal time/place for me.

It's a 2007 MK5 Jetta with stock suspension.

Also, is there anything I should maybe get replaced while it's all out? It's a higher km car (160k) and I was told to maybe do the strut bearings, strut mounts and rear shock mounts, is this true? If so, where would be the best place to get it? Anything else while we are there?
