Strut Failure

[UnoWHO]

Welp. my front driver side strut mount went bad, and i gotta fix it, Ive done jobs like this before, but on a older car so im not sure if theres any extra things I should look out for while changing it.

1. Take off bolts from inside engine bay,

2. Take out main support bolt at bottom of strut,

3. realse any brake lines mnounted to it blah blah i know the idea, just not sure if theres extras, thanks for the replys

theres actually quite a bit to it.

you'll take off 2 nuts and 1 bolt on top

2 bolts/nuts on bottom

no brake lines to remove

after removing the bolts/nuts youll be able to remove the whole strut/spring assembly. now for the next part if you're on stock springs you will most definetly need a spring compressor, theyre a bitch and can be rented at a local autozone for a deposit of $50 of which 100% will be refunded upon return of the tool.

anyways next you take off the top strut nut with an impact if you have one, if not you might want to break that nut before taking the assembly out of the car(i said BREAK not remove).

before full removal you MIGHT want to put the spring compressor on the springs, some swear by it, some dont. I for one, don't use it till putting the stock spring back on. im just careful taking the nut off as poop can go flying without the spring compressor

f*** why am i typing all this poop anyways, just go to how to change springs. steps are the same just put your stock spring back in.
