Ive got an 03 taurus and when i was replacing the brakes yesterday i noticed that the springs and struts were bad so i was wondering how hard it is to replace them? and if anyone could give me advice on like a how to.... that would be great!

I was looking at it and it looks fairly easy to do but i didn't know if there were any tricky bolts or nuts. Thanks

Front or rear??????

Monroe Quick Struts are the easiest as they are preassembled and ready to bolt on.

How did you determine they are bad? Are they leaking?

yeah there in the front.... yeah i went ahead and got the pre assembled shock and strut unit.


And to tell if they were bad they had a little leakage coming out plus they are still the oem ones and the car has over 130k miles... plus it bounces like crazy up and down in the front.

The reason I asked is because I don't often see bad OEM struts on Fords. But, after 130k miles, it's not too unreasonable.
