ummm.......use the proper tools when working with suspension. Also....you'll be spending some time to take apart your rear interior just to get to the rear struts. Oh yeah...a Spring compressor will really help too. :D Let me know if you have any other questions.

Be sure to watch out for the ABS sensors.
Don't let the lower control arm just hang, be sure to support it with a jack or similar device.
Many on this forum have had to have their's replaced after installation.
Got Boost?? :sweet:
