Struts?
I thought I read somewhere that lots of wheel hop could be a result of worn out struts?
If this is a high chance of the problem: how much does a new set cost and is it hard to do alone with a jack and a toolset? THANKS GUYS! Sorry, I only realized this was the wrong section after I posted. I have a 1990 300zx if it helps. |

worn struts may contribute to the problem but not your biggest culprit. a full metric set of wrenches and sockets and maybe a breaker bar is the main things you will need for a strut change but you will also need a spring compressor. manual spring compressors can be purchased from a local parts store for pretty cheap. good luck. suspension can be a pain to work on.

Re: Struts?
and dont get a cheap manual strut compressor because they suck and the cheap ones tend to bend and break ....

Re: Struts?
