I need some help. I have a 2012 Prius V with 178,000 miles. I like the Prius very much. I use the car for real estate and for part time ride share driving. While I normally do not take the car to the dealer, I did yesterday to replace the original battery (not the hybrid). I knew the suspension needed to also be replaced and the dealer stated that I need to replace the following: FT Stab Bar Link FT LWR Ball Joint FT Strut RR Shock FT LWR CTRL Arm Fortunately, I have a mechanic that I can supply parts to who can do work at a lower cost. Does anyone have any input on how to prioritize these repairs? Are there one or two that ought to be done before the others or which of these needs to be done at the same time? The dealer cost out her for the repairs comes to about $5400 with just the LWR CTRL Arm pricing over $2000. Thanks for input,
