Junkyard. Auto parts store. The struts fail every few years, buy them local from a place with a lifetime warranty and warranty them when they fail.

Re: In Need Of Parts!

Get the battery wedge from MDM as linked above, and get the hood struts from the local parts store--this is one area where the GM ones suck, and the Autozone aftermarket ones are better. The GM ones fail more frequently than the aftermarket ones.
