If any bushing are worn out, you'll want to get new ones pressed in. Everything else should be reusable. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008!

There are 14 nuts and 4 bolts you have to remove just to take the struts off of the car. Then remove the nut on top of the strut to replace the springs using a spring compressor. You need to search this stuff on your own. The Suspension section is riddled with this very same question. If you can't find the procedure on here, go out and drop $25 on a Haynes/Chiltons manual. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008! (in reply to hotnics82) Post #: 4
