Replacing front & rear suspensions...Any tips?

[(_8*(l)Homer]

I got Monroe sensatrack struts and cartridges. Is there anything I should know before I bring the vehicle to the shop to get them installed? It will be me and a friend doing the install.

Only thing you need to know is to take the Monroes back to where you
got them from and get KYB.

Monroes are the biggest pieces of junk I've ever seen!

Had them on my car and had them go bad in seven months!

Replaced them with KYBs, no problems since!

fronts are easy...the rears are a pain. Make sure you tighten the gland pack nuts as tight as possible in the back. Borrow/Buy a coil spring compressor....thats about it it just takes a little while.

yeah like he said the fronts are easy took me an hour a side.the back took almost 6 hours cause of the pain that it was to remove all the stuff that had never been removed before.But all in all if you have any skill at working on a car you will be fine.

I can do the fronts in an hour, the rears in 2 hours.....I've taken my suspension apart so many times it isn't funny.
