I ordered the parts to replace it but is there any advice as to how to best and safely replace it? way2old Veteran / Moderator Jun 19, 2008, 5:03 PM Post #2 of 3 (2073 views) Re: Front Coil Spring Replacement Sign In You need a strut spring compressor and need to remove the strut from the car.

Try places like Pep boys,Firestones,Goodyears..they all should do it for you. Another thing ,"Gabriel" Came out with complete replacement strut assemblies..they come complete with new strut,new spring and strut bearing...come assembled already...Just remove the old one and install the new one.... Dont know for sure if they have for your year /model,but check with Autozone..they do sell them.... >>>>> Replace them in pairs tho...both fronts ..don't just do the one side .....<<<<<<<, Remember,the vehicle needs to have an alignment performed after the repairs...regardless of which way you go.
