Re: Front Struts '98 GP
What I did....
-bought a set of GM struts, I think they were around 200 bucks USD combined.
-removed the old struts and springs as an assembly from the car.
-Took the new struts and mounts and old strut assemblies to my local repair shop
-Dropped everything off there, came home, had lunch, and came back an hour later.
-My mechanic switched the struts and mounts out with his spring compressor. It only costed me 20.00 to have them switched out.
-Brought them home and slapped them in
It was WAY cheaper than paying someone to do the whole job for me. Plus I didnt have to go rent a spring compressor and sit there and wrench down the springs and risk losing a finger with those crappy rental spring compressors.
