Just purchased a 96 convertible with 138,000 miles and ride from the rear is pretty awful (harsh and loud, car jiggles over bumps) so I am thinking of replacing the struts. I have never done this before. What is involved? Do I need a spring compressor? Do I need additional parts other than the struts (which are amazingly cheap
 Any tutorials out there? Thanks

(At least to remove. I need to order new ones tomorrow.) No need for a spring compressor. My bumper stops were fine, but I need new boots. I have yet to find boots without the stops so I guess I get new stops as well. The struts I pulled out are stamped Toyota so they may be original equipment. I won't be able to drive it for awhile as I decided to put a new top on while I was working on it. Wish me luck with that! |
