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

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.

Re: sorry
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.

Re: sorry
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.

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