What ancilliaries needed for Monroe struts?

[peterljohnson55]

I know I can purchase Monroe struts, but need to know what ancilliary stuff should be considered when replacing the strut assembly? Hopefully someone can list these (say, from top to bottom - as my shopping list). BTW, I have never purchased as strut pack before so I havent a clue about them, novice I be.

Reason for asking:
I dont particulary want to be bitten by a workshop who wants extra $$$ beyond the quote, for this or that item beyond the basic Monroe item, for what should have been supplied to renew the suspension in the first place; nor do I want some crappy piece of worn-out part left in place when it should have been replaced.

I have seen some front strut packs online which show ancilliaries but I dont know what the parts are or what for. Furthermore, some appear to be universal kits that cover both AU1 and AU2 - but, I understand, AU2 and AU3 front struts for the FPV are not the same in the Monroe catalogue as for AU1.

(I plan to have installed Monroe 35-0447 to front and 35-4449 to rear.
Car: Ford Fairmont AU2 2001 Tickford IRS, which is not not super-lowered).

I appreciate any and every comment.
