Self Installation of struts and springs?

[racerhex]

Should this be attempted? I mean i have never done nothing like that befor on my car? What yall think!

If you have a spring compressor....maybe.....if not....I say don't even think about it. The level of compression for those springs is enormous....and when those babies are let loose....the result can be fatal. Just FYI.

spring compressor and 4 jacks!! not so bad i did mine in about 2 hours or so only thing that was hard was knocking the bolts out of the rear brakes which wasnt too hard hehehe simple and making sure u align the arrows facing out ward also marking the nut on the struts so u have a marking point and u dont install it the wrong way otherwise i say go for it .. its a good learning experience

humpty

what would you say a decent installation price is?

Roughly $100 USD or $200 CAN is reasonable.

It CAN be done by yourself, as long as you got the right tools (spring compressor, sockets, jacks) and lots of luck! You'll be surprised how many nuts dont even budge because they are so seized.

anyways, latez.
