sorry

i have a nother question. i herd that if you try to take the springs and shocks off with out some speacal tool they will shoot off and probbally kill you, i was woundering if this is true. thanks

moderately true? don't risk it, the tool will retain the springs when they are compressed to avoid having them spring away.

well how much is the tool and could i just jack up the car. and how much would it cost do you think to get a shop to do them. thanks.

The tool looks like a big crimp/or vice type device...you put it on the coil, and use its lever/knob to compress the sping alittle so the sping wont go BOOOOING..

And yes, it will kill you if you get a direct blast to the face-seriously. Another thing i heard of, is that most window motors have a wound up spring inside, and if taken apart...BOOOOING...

Go to autozone, they should have that tool you want.

the tool couldn't be more than 25 bucks to rent from the auto parts chains. that is cheap work for a shop, but you could do it yourself cheaper.

ok thanks

this is very very true! a close friend of mine tried to take the suspension off of a car in a junk yard... all i need to say is that after yankin on it all he remembers is wakin up in the hospital 3 hours later with 20 stitches on his face

(he was lucky)

wow

If you are inexperienced and don't know exactly what you are doing this could be a bad idea. If you insist on doing it yourself I strongly suggest that you get someone who could help and make sure that everything is safe. You don't want to risk injury.

yeah i think im going to get a shop to do it.

Don't forget, it will need an alignment also if you change the struts.

last year at my school somebody was messing around with the springs and it shot off and hit him in the jaw shattering his jaw and bottem teeth.

Yeah I think its a good idea to take it to a shop. Hope it all works out for you.
