Took it to the mechanic, it is probably a dead cat convertor that is causing the problem, won't know if it is the root cause of the power loss until I get it changed, though. Also need new front struts, strut tops and front sway bar D bushes.

Bushes are SPF1344-16k (do I need 2 or 4?)

Tops are 2 x SM6756

Struts are KYB 334155 and 334154
